Eight years ago, Free Play Arcade owner and founder Corey Hyden opened his first retro arcade in a strip mall in Richardson. He expanded the brand to four locations that were bigger and better than its predecessors but they all landed around Dallas like a cluster of darts that failed to hit the bullseye.
