dl Dave & Busterts Campaiqn
Due to demographics, Dave & Buster t s Entertainment Centers have
elected not to locate in downtown Clearwater. However, because the demographic
charts do not include the number of employees working in Clearwater and also the
munber of tourists visiting Clearwater, Mr. Gozza is initiating a letter-writing
campaign with the hopes of changing the minds of Dave & Busterts management.
Letters written by the management of major Clearwater employers and the major
hotels will indicate the number of employees and hotel guests, along with their
average age, and will encourage Dave & Busterts to, again, consider Clearwater
as a location for their entertainment center. The Chamber of Commerce endorses
.this idea and will work with Mr. Gozza to achieve the goal. Trustee Garvey
recommended that marJceting reports from Clearwater and Countryside mall be
SUbmitted, also.
Trusteo Thomas stated that another entertainment center investor has
indicated an intersst in the third floor of the Maas building and will be in town
to review this option.
