Gadgets

Gadgets was a restaurant and entertainment center that ran from 1982 to 1984. It was notable for having animatronics of the Looney Tunes characters as well as an original character called Sammy Sands, who played the piano and sang. The first locations that opened were Springfield, Ohio and Baltimore, Maryland. It had a variety of items for both kids and adults, including steaks, hamburgers, pizza, and drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic), among other dishes. The menus were designed after Looney Tunes Dell comic books. There was also an arcade that required tokens to play the games. In the main dining room, there was a stage featuring animatronics of nine Looney Tunes characters, all voiced by Mel Blanc. In total, around 50 to 55 different showtapes were recorded. 150 locations were planned to open, but only 5 known locations opened. Problems within the company caused downsizing such as high maintenance costs, demographics, and even the video game crash of 83. As adults became more invested in a bar atmosphere than a cartoony one, the concept became Gadgets Cafe, but it would have problems as well. Gadgets ended up closing for good with a report of at least one final location lasting until 1992.
