History
Eddie's Amusement Co.
Owned by Edward M. Leyanna
Eddie's Amusement Co. Inc. was established in 1947 by Edward Leyanna.
Eddie originally started with pinball machines. He added juke boxes to the business since the locations wouldn't take pinball machines without juke boxes.
In 1955 he bought a house at G4487 Miller Road. It was originally about 30' x 35' with a two car garage. Eddie used the shed as his office.
In 1959 a 30' x 70' section was added to the east side of the building. Later the west rear side was added to the building.
In 1967, Eddie bought a house at 3230 S. Dye Rd, and built a warehouse onto this property. This is where the Champ Billiard Table is currently constructed.
In 1979, Eddie's Amusement was added onto again to make it twice as large. It was on the north side of the building making it more visible to the public from Miller road. When this addition was in progress, the new roof collapsed, delaying the finishing of the new part.
