Gold Mine: Rapids Mall

The Gold Mine arcade was located at 555 Grand Avenue West in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. It operated as part of a national arcade chain known for its distinctive mineshaft theme, often situated within shopping malls. The Gold Mine chain, which first opened in 1973, provided entertainment with a variety of video games, pinball machines, and other coin-operated attractions. This specific location, like others in the chain, ceased operations when the Gold Mine brand closed in 2009. The property at this address is now listed as a former retail space, consistent with its past as a mall-based arcade.
