The Concept
Zoo Station is a social club for Elgin area teenagers (12-18). it will require a
nominal, yearly membership fee, e.g., $10, for entrance and will include the
following features:
• fast food service, i.e., burgers, pizza, fries, soda, etc.;
• - game rooms, i.e., pool, ping pong, foosball, video games, big
screen tv, etc.;
• retail outlet for CDs, tapes and youth-oriented clothing, i.e.,
hats, t-shirts, jackets, etc.;
• dances featuring both bands and disc jockeys, i.e., the return of
the."10 to 12 Club" on Fridays;
• educational programs, e.g., book clubs, art classes, etc.
A high-security, clean, safe environment will be created to provide the kids of
Elgin with a conveniently located, more interesting alternative to traditional
malls.
r
The Market
The greater Elgin area is currently underserved in terms of entertainment and
shopping options for teenagers. This idea has been expressed by parents and
kids alike. Teens currently have to drive either 25 minutes east to Woodfield,
20 minutes north to Springhill or 20 minutes south to St. Charles to meet
friends, shop or go to a movie.
This is a sad state of affairs for a city of 75,000. The Zoo Station Teen Club
will fill a big void for the approximately 12,000 students who attend high
school and middle school in greater Elgin. It would also be a comfort to their
parents to know that their children have a safe, clean, conveniently located
place where they can meet friends and have fun.
