Zelky的海滩街机将在2025年后关闭门

四十年来，Zelky's Beach Arcade一直是Rehoboth Beach的备受喜爱的主食，在阳光下提供了经典，富有硬币操作的乐趣

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.

雷霍博斯海滩（Rehoboth Beach） - 多十年来，Zelky's Beach Arcade一直是Rehoboth Beach的备受喜爱的主食，在阳光，沙滩和盐水taff上提供了经典，富有硬币的乐趣，定义了沿海城镇。但是，今年夏天，标志性的街机将在其原始位置上次点亮。

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，将在2024赛季之后关门。街机的原始建筑物将被拆除，因为One Rehoboth Avenue综合酒店和零售项目将取代其位置。

"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."

街机总经理马特·韦纳（Matt Weiner）说：“我们正在提供乐趣和回忆。”他一生都熟悉Zelky的景象和声音。 “我感到非常难过。我喜欢这座建筑所拥有的怀旧魅力。我的意思是，我站在近100年历史的保龄球馆地板上。”

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.

尽管最初的地点将关闭，但The Tanger Outlets的Zelky街机将保持开放，并继续为John和Chelsea Paczek等家庭提供乐趣，后者带来了儿子的生日乐趣。

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

约翰·帕切克（John Paczek）说：“这很奇怪，因为这就像夺走了一段历史。” “这是木板路的主食。”

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.

街机在木板路上的南端位置也将继续为像素天堂提供服务，因为Zelky在没有其北端存在的情况下对未来的表现。

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仍然希望这只有一个赛季，因为有计划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.

韦纳说：“这只会导致我们改善Zelky的经验的能力。”

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周年纪念日，街机正在计划庆祝这一里程碑的特别活动，包括在South-End地点举行的屋顶迷你高尔夫球场的盛大开幕以及夏季的“ SNO Balls”的回归。

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

正如韦纳（Weiner）所说，“当你说... zelky的时，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.

代币，门票和永恒的乐趣将在最初的Zelky的最后一个赛季中保留一个赛季，但街机的遗产将继续在Rehoboth Beach周围的其他景点闪耀。
