PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- PREIT (NYSE: PEI), a leading real estate investment trust focused on creating thoughtful, community-centric properties, today announced Tilted 10 and Tilt Studio by Nickels and Dimes Incorporated, an action-packed bi-level 104,000 square foot indoor family entertainment center, will join the lineup at Willow Grove Park in 2022. Tilted 10 will occupy the former JCPenney site – the latest step in PREIT's strategy to expand the offerings at Willow Grove Park to meet the changing needs of today's consumer.
Its first location in the Philadelphia region, Tilted 10 and Tilt Studio by Nickels and Dimes Incorporated will feature: a restaurant with chef-inspired menu; premier bowling lanes; multi-level laser tag arena; black light mini golf; bumper cars; virtual reality; Pinball Alley; over 200 games and attractions; and a redemption center with hundreds of prizes worth winning. Kids of all ages will love the fully charged fun and games atmosphere with over 200 games and attractions for all skill levels, including Pinball Alley, home to current and classic pinball games.
Given the property's history as a former amusement park, it is no surprise that area residents, including 335,000 families, spend 15 percent more time playing arcade and video games than the average American. As Willow Grove Park returns to its roots, it now brings a new entertainment destination for evenings and weekends that appeals to families. PREIT is focused on taking Willow Grove Park into the next phase of its evolution, which is set to include new dimensions, including entertainment, enhanced retail and apartments, creating a true central hub for the community.
