About Us
My wife and I started Great American Pinball in 2005 as a side business from the ground up, while the both of us worked day jobs working after hours and the weekends for 20 years building up this pinball business we call Great American Pinball. I had a 30-year career as a Sales and Marketing representative in the food industry working for the Quaker Oats co, Kraft Foods and Nabisco. I founded Great American Pinball, because I loved to play pinball in the 70's and 80's, but more importantly I fell in love with the process of taking a worn-out broken pinball machine and bringing it back to its glory. Since then, we grew our clientele base and became one of Chicago's largest distributors for new pinball machines manufactured by Stern, Chicago Gaming, Spooky, Jersey Jack, Dutch Pinball and American Pinball. We have the largest showroom and selection of new and used pinball machines in the Chicago area, and we hope you come out and visit us. You won't be disappointed.
