558.0. "Discovery Zone" by SNKERZ::SOTTILE (Get on Your Bikes and Ride) Tue Aug 24 1993 09:41

    
    
    
    Anybody have oppinions good or bad on Discovery Zone?
    Its a growing company which builds and opperates indoor 
    play areas for children. My Broker is recomending it as
    a high risk but potentially big return. 
    Its started by the guy who started Blockbuster video, as
    well as having ownership in the miami dolphins football team,
    and most other pro sports teams based in Fla.

	What is the stock symbol and which exchage ? Need more info on the company. Overall it sounds like a good business opportunity as parents are placing a higher priority ( $ ) on their children ... jgk
558.2	Maybe NASDAQ Diszone	SNKERZ::SOTTILE	Get on Your Bikes and Ride	`Wed Aug 25 1993 14:53`	8
	> What is the stock symbol and which exchage ? Not sure which exchange, I've been lookinging in the local paper and havn't been able to find the symbol ZONE. Next time I talk with my broker I'll ask.I'm expecting a check from sale (big loss) of DEC soon, and when that arrives I'll be looking to recover some of the loss. :( Big question is where?

	Well, from today's WSJ: The stock closed down 2 1/4 to 50 (52 week high low are 53 3/4 and 32 1/4). There are no earnings. The symbol is ZONE and is on NASDAQ.

558.5	Can't attest to the investment quality, but...	ALFAXP::S_SOVEREIGN		`Thu Aug 26 1993 15:04`	7
	...my kids really love to go to the one near our house to play. Lots of activities, and seems to be well supervised. Rather expensive (by comparison to similar 'drop-in' childcare facilities) for our market here, but they stay pretty busy. SteveSov
558.6		CSC32::S_MAUFE	this space for rent	`Thu Aug 26 1993 17:33`	5
	sounds like a toys-r-us, its expensive but these days of nesting etc parents spend more on their kids. I know I do! Simon
