Logan Square Cafe Will
Re-open Oct. 14
TORONTO, Canada -- September 17, 2020 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Amfil Technologies Inc. (OTC:
FUNN), which owns Snakes & Lattes board game cafes across
North America, has purchased the Chicago Board Game Cafe and will
reopen it Oct. 14 under the name Snakes & Lattes Chicago.

The cafe, located at 1965 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Logan Square
(better known as the Margie’s Candies building), will be Snakes
& Lattes’ seventh and largest location. Reservations will be
required due to COVID-19 and will be available starting Oct. 1,
2020.
The cafe opened Feb. 14, one month and one day before the State
of Illinois ordered restaurants closed.
“There was just enough time for the cafe to earn rave reviews
for its food, design, and overall awesomeness, but not enough time
for many Chicagoans to experience it,” said Ben Castanie, Snakes
& Lattes’ founder and President. “We’re thrilled to be adopting
an existing location that was thriving and give it a fresh
injection of support.”
Chicago is a particularly meaningful place for Castanie. The
idea for Snakes & Lattes’ first cafe in Toronto came while
browsing a game shop in Chicago in 2008. The children's board game
Chutes and Ladders was the inspiration for the cafe’s
name.
The cafe will continue to feature a full dinner menu; craft
cocktails, beer and wine; and hundreds of board games.
Executive Chef Aaron McKay (Schwa, NoMi, Le Lan) will become
vice president of food and beverage for Snakes & Lattes USA,
Corp. General Manager Megan Canty and Chef de Cuisine Damian
Sandoval will lead day to day operations.
“In the world of board game cafes, Snakes & Lattes is the
king, the original,” McKay said. “They’ve been at this for more
than 10 years, and Chicago is going to benefit from their
investment and expertise.”
Guests will be able to access the building’s bank vault, which
has been converted into a library for games, and a team of teachers
who can recommend games to diners and help them learn the
rules.
Diners of all ages can play classics like Scrabble and Monopoly,
or learn new games created by indie developers from all over the
world.
The sale closed Sept. 11. The purchase price will not be
disclosed.

About Us:
Amfil Technologies Inc. is the parent company to three wholly
owned subsidiaries.
1). Snakes & Lagers Inc. holds the trade name and is the
owner of Snakes & Lattes Inc. which currently operates 3
tabletop gaming bars and cafes located in Toronto, Ontario and 1 in
Tempe, Arizona. The company is in the process of expanding
throughout North America. Snakes & Lattes Inc. was the first
board game bar and cafe in North America, is believed to be the
largest in the world and has the largest circulating public library
of board games in North America for customers to choose from.
Snakes & Lattes Inc. currently has a 100+ member staff and
recently acquired the exclusive distribution rights throughout
Canada for some of the most popular board games in the world. The
company also operates a lucrative fulfillment and distribution
division and has recently entered into the board game publishing
business through the acquisition of Morning which is expected to

2). The EcoPr03 GRO3 Antimicrobial System was jointly developed
between Amfil Tech and A.C.T.S. Inc. which recently rebranded its
technology under Advanced Ozone Integration as an extension of the
existing ozone technology being utilized in the food and beverage
industry and integrated by A.C.T.S. into companies such as Pepsi,
Nestle, Sysco, Sun Pacific and many others. The system is a
triple-function sanitization unit capable of naturally eliminating
99.9% of water and airborne pathogens and the typically problematic
pests that wreak havoc for cultivators (like aphids, whiteflies and
spider mites), as well as bacteria, fungus, microbes and mold on
surfaces, all without chemicals. The unit can also constantly
regulate a given facility's water supply, oxygenating the water and
maintaining a consistent PPM infusion of ozone that prevents the
formation of algae, bacteria or mold (allowing for comprehensive
water recycling), simultaneously removing the need to use
pesticides and/or dangerous, often carcinogenic products to treat
production problems, as is common throughout the industry today.
This environmentally-friendly solution also eliminates odors, while
slightly reducing the air temperature, lowering energy consumption
by the HEPA filtration and HVAC systems and could potentially allow
for a facilities process to be labeled certified organic in the
U.S.A. when the crop is no longer considered illegal on the federal
level, otherwise "Clean Green" or "Certified Kind" in the meantime.
The EcoPr03 GRO3 Antimicrobial System recently passed product
review by a registered USDA certifying agent for use in California
as well as Pennsylvania and surrounding states. The subsidiary has
developed a strategic partnership with Roto Gro, the creator of
proprietary rotary hydroponic technology. More information on this
product line can be found on the www.gro3systems.com website or
on twitter @GRO3Systems.

manufacturer of concrete interlocking paving stones and segmental
wall products. Interloc-Kings Inc. has an A+ Rating with the Better
Business Bureau (BBB) and a 10/10 rating on homestars.com.
Specializing in stone and wood installations between $5,000 and
