Six of the foot pool tables will be located in the main room.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For those who don\u2019t know, foot pool\u00a0is a combination of pool and soccer on an over-sized pool table that&#8217;s securely mounted to the floor. It&#8217;s like your playing a game of\u00a09 ball; you have a Q-ball 8 ball and 4 balls a piece for each player.\u00a0 Instead of using a pool stick to knock the balls in the net, you\u2019ll be using your feet and you\u2019ll be kicking the balls in there.<\/p>\n<p>This game can be played one on one or two on two. In foot pool, the first team to knock in their four balls plus the 8-ball wins.<\/p>\n<p>The game of foot pool has been played at places outside of the United States, such as the United Kingdom. All thanks to a coupe of savvy business owners, the game of foot pool will now be coming to Hamtramck.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Brock, and his wife Ashlee Brock, are co-owners of Randy\u2019s Barbershop, which is located on 11527 Jos. Campau Street, Hamtramck, Michigan; right next door to Infinity Drugs Pharmacy.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what made them come up with the foot pool idea, Mr. Brock said, \u201cJust searching the net. The original plan was to occupy the space\u00a0by having\u00a0Nerf gun fights and the life size soccer balls that run into each other. Once we found out what foot pool was, we thought it looked a lot more exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Brock later mentioned that it wasn\u2019t his idea; it was actually his wife Ashlee\u2019s idea to come up with this new game.<\/p>\n<p>When we asked Ashlee what made foot pool so unique, Mrs. Brock said, \u201cFoot Pool is unique because it combines the game of pool and soccer all in one; so you can play your favorite sport and play a game of pool all at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The name of their new business will be called <em>The Gamer\u2019s Gallery<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>At The\u00a0Gamers Gallery, foosball tables, air hockey, karaoke, PlayStation consoles, Xbox consoles, darts and board games will also be available next to the foot pool tables. Pricing for each game has yet to be determined.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Brock later mentioned that the goal for The Gamer\u2019s Gallery is to \u201cCreate a unique interactive gaming experience for friends and families in the neighborhood. Creating The Gamer&#8217;s Gallery was important to us to create something special for the community that my husband and I were both raised in. We wanted to create a fun place for family, friends and co-workers where they can interact and enjoy each other&#8217;s company.\u00a0\u201c<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Brock agreed with his wife by saying that the goal for The Gamer\u2019s Gallery was to give people from around here a convenient way to enjoy some entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have kids, and anytime they want to have some fun we would have to travel 15-20 minutes away from here\u2026and that\u2019s crazy,\u201d Mr. Brock said. \u201cI&#8217;m from Hamtramck and I\u2019m proud of it, so why not invite people to my city and show them our attractions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Gamer\u2019s Gallery will be located at 3901 Christopher Street, Hamtramck, Michigan. For those familiar with the area, it will be on top of the building that houses the Fowling House.<\/p>\n<p>The Gamer\u2019s Gallery will open sometime this month, with hopes of having its opening day on August 26<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n<div class='clear '><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Omar Thabet Do you love to play soccer?
