Cyber Cafe - City of Southend area

Hey all!

Our names are Chris and Russell Bignell, and we are the proud owners of CB-Computers. We are currently looking at launching our sister company to provide a unique and exciting experience for people of all ages.

This feels close to us because gaming has played a pivotal part in our lives. Growing up with the retro consoles (NES, SNES, Mega drive) right through to the modern gaming era. It's fun for all ages, teaches, and brings everyone closer together.

Southend saw its last PC-based Cyber Cafe shut its doors in 2006.

Those that remember these amazing places would remember the great times that were had by all. Unfortunately, each Cyber Cafe closed their doors, leaving youngsters and people of all ages nowhere to go from the same social background to visit apart from travelling to Stratford, or further not forgetting the extortionate train costs. We are looking at changing all of this for gamers of all ages to plug the social gap of PC gaming and bring the social buzz back from the bedroom to the local area once more, within the City of Southend, especially after emerging from the post-Covid era.

The Cyber Cafe will have a 1980's aesthetic theme, similar to FarCry Blooddragon or Stranger Things and will be a unique experience within the UK.

What services will we offer, you ask?

...and the future?

We are focusing on expansion to other counties within the UK, allowing for competitions between sites and counties. We are also focusing on the possibility of converting vans to portable gaming hubs for parties at home or off-site events. Arcade machines and retro console gaming area.

Why do we need you?

We have a realistic target of £20,000 and believe this will be achievable. What will this money be used for, you may ask?
