More than 2,000 games, in fact, from Ms. Pac-Man to claw machines to pinball. He’s got ice skating rinks, bowling alleys and go-karts.
Goldfarb is founder and CEO of PrimeTime Amusements in Fort Lauderdale. The company rents and sells arcade games, creates themed entertainment spaces and operates its own entertainment complexes in Florida and New Jersey. Clients include Universal Studios, the world’s largest McDonald’s and Bird Bowl Bowling Center in Miami.
