MARION/MT. VERNON – Pirate Pete’s Family Entertainment Center in Marion is moving to Mt. Vernon.

Pirate Pete’s management made the announcement on social media Friday saying they are excited for this new adventure and will be getting the new location up and going as soon as possible. They hope to be open this fall.

Pirate Pete’s opened at the former Illinois Star Centre Mall on Sept. 1, 2009.

The business decided to move to Mt. Vernon after announcing in January that their lease was coming up and did not have the option to renew. It will close at the end of next month.
