Fox41 Special

We had the great pleasure of having Fox41 come out today and do a special segment on our Gamebulance and  The Game Room. This is what they had to say...

"Crestwood, KY (WDRB TV Fox 41)--It looks like an ambulance but it's more likely to show up at parties rather than hospitals.
"It's a mobile video store that is retrofitted in an actual ambulance," says the owner of the Gamebulance, Buddy Brennstuhl.
With red and white lights flashing, at first glance it sure looks like an ambulance rolling down the street.
"We rent it out for parties, weddings and even for businesses that have grand openings," says Brennstuhl.
It's not to save lives but to provide a little fun, mostly for kids. "All the emergency lights still work," says Brennstuhl, "we park it put the lights on and the kids can come in an play their favorite games, like X-Box 360 or Play Station 3."
Buddy is a former firefighter and paramedic. He says he got the idea for this unique business after suffering an injury a couple of years ago. "I broke my back at work and I was laid up for awhile," he says, "so I tried to figure out what kind of business would survive a recession and these video games seemed to be one of those things."
It proved to be a good idea. The business is doing well that he is about to invest in four more used ambulances.
Buddy who also owns the Crestwood Game Room in Crestwood admits he is a little surprised that things are going so well. "I never thought it would be at this point, one thing just led to another," he says.
Buddy says he's having fun and making a little money too."
