the businesses. Jim Gould and David Peniston are negotiating to sub-let the space where the two businesses are located to a local bar operation.

They either want to relocate Belly Busters -- the indoor children's play centre -- as a stand along business or will sell the equipment to any interested buyer.

They definitely want to get out of the restaurant business. Mr. Gould said the deli restaurant was not profitable, while Belly Busters was making money.

"The two were supposed to complement each other,'' he said. "We are trying to separate the two and get out of the restaurant business.'' The two entrepreneurs set up the businesses about 20 months ago. Mr. Gould said in the summer Belly Busters attracted up to about 200 youngsters a day.
