Zelky的海灘街機將在2025年後關閉門

四十年來，Zelky's Beach Arcade一直是Rehoboth Beach的備受喜愛的主食，在陽光下提供了經典，富有硬幣操作的樂趣

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. — For four decades, Zelky’s Beach Arcade has been a beloved staple of Rehoboth Beach, offering classic, coin-operated fun alongside the sun, sand, and saltwater taffy that define the coastal town. This summer, however, the iconic arcade will light up for the last time at its original location.

雷霍博斯海灘（Rehoboth Beach） - 多十年來，Zelky's Beach Arcade一直是Rehoboth Beach的備受喜愛的主食，在陽光，沙灘和鹽水taff上提供了經典，富有硬幣的樂趣，定義了沿海城鎮。但是，今年夏天，標誌性的街機將在其原始位置上次點亮。

Zelky’s, at its 5 N Boardwalk location, will close its doors after the 2024 season. The arcade’s original building will be demolished, as the One Rehoboth Avenue mixed-use hotel and retail project will take its place.

Zelky在其5 N木板路的位置，將在2024賽季之後關門。街機的原始建築物將被拆除，因為One Rehoboth Avenue綜合酒店和零售項目將取代其位置。

"We are in the business of providing fun and memories," said Matt Weiner, general manager of the arcade, who has been familiar with the sights and sounds of Zelky’s all his life. "I feel very sad. I love the nostalgic charm that this building holds. I mean, I'm standing on almost 100-year-old bowling alley floors."

街機總經理馬特·韋納（Matt Weiner）說：“我們正在提供樂趣和回憶。”他一生都熟悉Zelky的景象和聲音。 “我感到非常難過。我喜歡這座建築所擁有的懷舊魅力。我的意思是，我站在近100年曆史的保齡球館地板上。”

Though the original location will close, the Zelky’s Arcade at the Tanger Outlets will remain open and continue offering fun for families like John and Chelsea Paczek, who brought their son for some birthday fun.

儘管最初的地點將關閉，但The Tanger Outlets的Zelky街機將保持開放，並繼續為John和Chelsea Paczek等家庭提供樂趣，後者帶來了兒子的生日樂趣。

"It’s weird because it’s like taking a piece of history away," said John Paczek. "It’s a staple of the boardwalk."

約翰·帕切克（John Paczek）說：“這很奇怪，因為這就像奪走了一段歷史。” “這是木板路的主食。”

The arcade’s south-end location on the boardwalk will also continue serving up pixel paradise as Zelky’s looks toward a future without its north-end presence.

街機在木板路上的南端位置也將繼續為像素天堂提供服務，因為Zelky在沒有其北端存在的情況下對未來的表現。

Weiner remains hopeful it will only be one season, as there are plans to build a new and improved Zelky's in its place.

Weiner仍然希望這只有一個賽季，因為有計劃在其代替其取代新的Zelky。

"It’s only going to lead to our ability to improve the Zelky’s experience," said Weiner.

韋納說：“這只會導致我們改善Zelky的經驗的能力。”

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the original Zelky’s, and the arcade is planning special events to celebrate the milestone, including the grand opening of a rooftop mini-golf course at the south-end location and the return of "sno balls" for the summer season.

今年是原始Zelky的40週年紀念日，街機正在計劃慶祝這一里程碑的特別活動，包括在South-End地點舉行的屋頂迷你高爾夫球場的盛大開幕以及夏季的“ SNO Balls”的回歸。

As Weiner puts it, "It makes you smile when you say it... Zelky’s, it’s better than cheese."

正如韋納（Weiner）所說，“當你說... zelky的時，它比奶酪好。”

The tokens, tickets, and timeless fun will remain for one final season at the original Zelky’s location, but the arcade’s legacy will continue to shine at its other spots around Rehoboth Beach.

代幣，門票和永恆的樂趣將在最初的Zelky的最後一個賽季中保留一個賽季，但街機的遺產將繼續在Rehoboth Beach周圍的其他景點閃耀。
