About Us
The Polillo Family has been in the coin-operated Amusement and Entertainment Business since the early days of Arcades, that were consumed by nothing but Pinball machines. Roberto Polillo Sr. took to the streets not long after opening a very popular arcade in St. Catharines, Ontario known as Appolo One. Roberto expanded throughout the Niagara region in local bars, restaurants, pubs, and taverns adding Jukeboxes, Pool Tables, and a variety of video games to his arsenal dominating the industry in the region well into the late 1980s. With his Son Roberto Polillo Jr. by his side and ready to join forces with his Father in the mid-'90s, they expanded into digital video Jukeboxes and also moved into Vending machines, and dominated the tourist area market in all the high-traffic motels in Niagara Falls and expanded outwards toward Toronto, and Brantford bringing drink and food vending to factories, and took their amusement and entertainment business with them, going strong for decades to come. In the mid-2010's the Polillo's were selected to represent Got Skill (Skill Based Games), and with the success of their newfound venture decided to sell off the vending route and Amusement and Entertainment route separately only to be hit by the lockdowns of Covid.
Now with threats of lockdowns well behind us (2023) Roberto Jr.'s Son Roberto Polillo Jr. III, who was always intrigued by his Father and Grandfather's business now finds himself finished school and looking back on the days of Star Amusement and Vending. With past experience and know-how from days of helping his Father and Grandfather when not in school, and an abundance of advice at his fingertips from his Family, Roberto Polillo Jr. III has decided to spearhead the next generation in the business, and make it Stellar, where the sky is the limit.
