On July 16, 2008, Dave & Buster's Holdings Inc, filed with the SEC to again become a publicly traded company. The company announced on December 8, 2005, that it would be acquired by private equity firm Wellspring Capital Management.

Seven of these Jillian's locations were rebranded with the Dave & Buster's name, while two were closed following the acquisition. ĭ&B acquired nine Jillian's locations after Jillian's filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in 2004. By 1997 the chain had ten locations across the country. Dave & Buster's was spun off from Edison Brothers, and went public with Andy Newman as chairman in 1995. In 1989, Edison Brothers Stores purchased a majority ownership in the restaurant to finance further expansion into other cities. After opening Dave & Buster's, the two operated as co-CEOs. Corley had previously operated a bar called 'Buster's' in Little Rock, Arkansas, next door to a saloon and game parlor called 'Cash McCool's', owned by Corriveau.

I also don't know if you can go in, leave then come back the same day and still use it. I'm not sure if you can split the cards up so 1 person can go 2 separate days or if you have to use both up the same day. If you use the coupon 'summer' you get an additional $5 off making it $20. If you don't want the wings, and want yo go in any day this Groupon gives you unlimited games for 2 people for $25 for a whole day. Maybe wings are not worth the extra $15 for you. Some say the wings are good, some say they are bad. Go in Thursdays you can get unlimited games and wings for $25 each person.

If you go in between 4:30 -7:00 you can get unlimited games for $10 but it's only for for 1hr of play. Just looking at their site they have 2 main promos where you can get unlimited games.
