Wilcox Arcade is Coming to Cadiz, Kentucky (via The Mason Jar)

The Wilcox Arcade route will soon expand into Trigg County — more specifically, at The Mason Jar thrift shop in downtown Cadiz, Kentucky.

To put it another way, we’re inching closer and closer to my hometown of Hopkinsville, people.

You’ve heard this story from me before: Although I won’t place a video game at The Major Jar — at least not yet — I will proudly provide to the venue another one of my iconic electronic bulk vending machines, this time containing one-inch Tootsie Roll chocolate chews.

It’ll be a similar setup to what I just made happen at The Pink Petunia in Crofton, Kentucky. (The Mason Jar, in contrast, is open year-round, which means you’ll be able to enjoy my offering year-round.)

Getting in touch with Tammy Mason, owner of The Mason Jar, was a happy coincidence: She responded favorably to a comment of mine on Facebook, where I had propositioned my bulk vending services to an entirely different Cadiz business. Even so, I was eager to make good on my word.

Later, I called Tammy to hammer out exactly what she would desire within her facility, and that’s how we landed on the Tootsie Rolls. (I’m trying my best not to spam the same strand of Dubble Bubble gumballs throughout the commonwealth, despite how popular they are; I’m aiming for variety.)

The rest, in the immortal words of Natasha Bedingfield, is still unwritten — because I still haven’t dropped off this particular bulk vending machine at The Mason Jar. Stay tuned to the Wilcox Arcade blog and my various social media channels for the date when that deal will transpire.

All in all, I’m beyond excited to plant my flag in yet another western Kentucky town, especially one so close to good ol’ Christian County. Maybe, one day, Wilcox Arcade will actually wind up back in Hopkinsville.
