Popular Illinois Arcade Is Adding A Massive Patio & Rebranding
The most popular arcade bar on the Illinois side of the Quad Cities is getting a couple of new features. They will be getting a new name and a massive patio just in time for summer. A local pizza place that's been operating in the same location will be no longer inside after a two-year run, but food will be available to order.
Analog II ( 1405 5th Ave) in Moline, Illinois will get a new name starting in May 2023 and Lopiez Pizza will no longer be serving up pizzas at this location but the new name says food will still be available.
Analog II Gets A New Name & Feature
In a press release on Monday, owners of Analog II in Moline announced it will be rebranded to Analog Pizza & Arcade in May.
In addition to offering a variety of pizzas and appetizers, they will also be adding a 3,000-square-foot patio that will be opening in June.
Analog co-owner Dan Bush said in the release,
“We are really excited to add a patio like we have at Armored Gardens in Downtown Davenport, another one of our concepts,” Analog co-owner Dan Bush says, “Analog has always been seen as more of a winter place, and this will make us a destination all year long.”
Besides the new name and patio, Lopiez Pizza will be ceasing operations at the end of April, ending its two-year residency. Analog co-owner Devon Wiese gave great praise about Lopiez saying,
“We lost our pizza vendor during Covid, and Lopiez agreed to help us out to keep us up and running,” Analog co-owner Devon Wiese says, “They got us out of a bind and for that, we are eternally grateful.”
You Can Still Get Your Lopiez Fix
Customers can still get their Lopiez fix at their two Davenport locations.
Lopiez co-owner Andrew Lopez had nothing but great things to say about Analog and are looking to focus on their two other locations on the Iowa side saying,
“The Analog crew has treated us like family since before we opened the first Lopiez. We can’t thank them enough for the opportunity and learning experience of opening a store in Moline. We are excited for the growth of both companies.”
