A lot of people ask how Tulsa Arcades got started so here's our story
My name is JC Reynolds I started this company back in 2018. I had job troubles being laid off and my wife was diagnosed with Breast Cancer Stage 3 and fighting her fight unable to work anymore. Our family became in a bad situation. I decided to think real hard about what I could do to help support my family during my wife's battle. Having one job was not going to cut it with my wife's medical bills and other expenses .
I started selling Arcade1ups locally in Tulsa which took off, Then I moved on to buying DIY arcade build kits and putting arcades together and selling those, After working with a local vendor in my area and not being able to get better deals + seeing some flaws in the kits I was getting, I decided to start manufacturing Arcades & Arcade parts myself to help provide better products and expand. So I studied as much as I could on how to operate a cnc, Then my wife and I put everything we had in on purchasing a 4x8 cnc router parts pro nema 34 DIY kit. Over a few months my friends and I assembled this cnc machine. It was a big kit took awhile lots of bolts the entire thing was in boxes. After we got it up and running we started cutting product and shipping shortly after around May 2019 and things went crazy from there quickly growing.
My family and I work hard to stay active in the community and feel customer service is very important. We also run the biggest Arcade1up modding Facebook group in the modding community and post a lot there and try and stay active with the community while we run Tulsa Arcades.
Tulsa Arcades has expanded rapidly, it's been my wife Michelle and I running the company since we first got started we added two full time employees to our team in November of last year . We ship hundreds of products monthly , We now have shipped product to every state in the USA including Puerto Rico, We work hard around the clock and do our best to ship product fast. With Covid 19 staffing hours might vary and shipping times will be longer
Right now we build custom arcades locally in the Tulsa Area from our location, Some time next year we plan to possibly open up a public local store front in Tulsa to help expand more, We also ship aftermarket parts & DIY Arcade kits to customers in the USA . Our DIY Arcade kits have had a lot of thought put into them. We solved some of the major issues found in these DIY Arcade kits that other vendors sell and made improvements making them a better Making better products for the community is what Tulsa Arcades is trying hard to do. We have pedestal's arcades , Bar tops & stands , & uprights. We plan on adding cocktail cabs as well as dart boards & full line of virtual pinball in the near future
