Digital Experiences · The People's Choice Family Fun Center
43 years of Waukegan history, told in the community's own words.
Not a marketing page — a living historical record. A documentary series, a primary-source podcast, a timeline and a growing community archive.
The People's Choice Family Fun Center has been a Waukegan institution for 43 years — but its story had never been told in a format that matched its impact on the community. JG Marketing Solutions built a documentary-grade digital archive: a 10-chapter video series, a 60-minute primary source podcast, a chronological timeline, a visual archive of the spaces families remember, and a community memory submission form where Waukegan residents can contribute their own photos and stories.
🎬
10-Chapter Documentary Video Series
Ten short documentary films telling John's story from 1971 to present — The Early Hustle, The $1 Idea, The Video Rental Revolution, Fire & Recovery, The Fun Center Begins, The Core Philosophy, The COVID Shutdown, The Comeback, Almost to the Top, and It's Always Been Waukegan.
🎙️
Primary Source Podcast — World's Greatest Television
A 60-minute uninterrupted conversation with John Sarantakis, produced by World's Greatest Television, embedded as the anchor record of the entire historical series.
📅
Chronological Timeline
A complete written history from 1971 to present, with documentary chapters embedded at the exact moment they belong in the timeline.
📸
Visual Archive & Community Memory Form
A curated photo archive of the spaces families remember, plus a community memory submission form where Waukegan residents contribute their own photos and stories.
No national chain can replicate 43 years of authentic local history. By building a documentary archive rather than a promotional page, JG Marketing Solutions gave People's Choice something no competitor can buy: a genuine community story told in the community's own words.
