Construction on a Dave & Buster's adjacent to Orland Square Mall in Orland Park, Illinois, US, is expected to get under way next spring.

The family entertainment venue will replace the former Orland Square theatre, which has been empty for 10 years.

The new D&B’s complex will include 24,000sq.ft of arcade games, a room for group events and a 280-seat restaurant and bar and will occupy a 4.6-acre site.

Orland Park does not have an amusement tax, but does require a $50 annual permit for each vending or amusement machine; this fee has been lowered from $300 per machine in anticipation of the amusement chain locating to the area. Dave & Buster’s is expected to have about 300 machines.
