AP already got their "Main Event" with the MALCO. Other than the laser tag, they don't have to leave Gonzales to go bowling.
There is some demand for a bowling alley on that side of town, so a good number of the South BR people will use it rather than brave Airline to go to Don Carters, Quarters, or Circle Bowl.
However, there's also a massive section 8 apartment complex in walking distance. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to see what will happen to a place like The Main Event when you have that kind of customer base next door.

People take the money that they save on rent to pay for more laser tag, making Main Event the greatest economic engine our town has ever seen?

You think kids are going to walk from 6630 Siegen to Main Event? That's about a 2 mile walk(according to Gmaps) so I don't think that will be an issue. Main Event won't be a cheap place to play and if loitering is handled properly, it should remain a decent place.
As for traffic woes, Pecue is getting an interchange within 3 years(turning dirt not completion). One can only hope that in addition to Reiger Road access to it, there will be access from N. Mall Drive as well. That would be WONDERFUL albeit optimistic.
eta: ah you mean Chateau Wein as the Section 8 within walking distance. It's not massive and That place isn't nearly as bad as it was 10 yrs ago.
