JOHNSON CITY, TENNESSEE, UNITED STATES, April 9, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- Clarence Mabe, FACE Amusement Group's Founder and Head Coach, has been inducted into the American Amusement Machine Association (AAMA) 2024 Hall of Fame. Clarence was chosen by his AAMA peers to be added to the Hall of Fame which is a true honor for the recipients.
“I'm blessed. It's an honor that very few people get. So, I'm honored that they chose me.” states Clarence Mabe, FACE Amusement, Founder and Head Coach.
AAMA's President, Jeff Blair points to the culture Clarence has created within his organization ensuring every team member and guest feels valued, appreciated, and welcomed.“There's an atmosphere of joy present in every one of Clarence's venues and that's intentional. The name of the organization, FACE stands for Faith, Attitude, Consistency and Excellence. These are the guiding principles of everything they do, and you see it present in the way the team members interact with their guests and each other. The atmosphere they create exemplifies the best of what a Family Entertainment Center (FEC) experience can be.”
“Clarence was, and remains an industry disrupter,” said AAMA EVP, Pete Gustafson.“He took what others were doing with family entertainment centers and improved on it in ways big and small, including displaying redemption prizes all throughout the venue creating colorful and exciting backdrops everywhere a guest looks. And FACE Entertainment shatters guest expectations at their Pigeon Forge location, Downtown Flavortown - you don't go to an arcade expecting to find the food and beverage curated by celebrity chef Guy Fieri, but that's exactly what you get at Flavortown.”
