Rochester has a bunch of buildings that could be repurposed and I'm really excited to see the changes that have happened at the old Shopko North store.

I did some digging to learn more about Chip Shots and according to one of the owners' Facebook pages, Ryan Utterback, Chip Shops will feature 15,000 square feet of fun. They will have the following:

6 sport simulators with games featuring golf, baseball, hockey, football, frisbee golf, shooting, racing etc.
