This is a group A4 / B occupancy - I wouldn't even begin to look in the storage section unless it were a group S or had some back room with rack storage. I'm thinking Ordinary Group II would be a good call.

If so then why would we need any other occupancies other than S? I'd guess the average office has more combustibles per square foot than a large appliance store and yet.... An arcade seems to me to be more like a store, or perhaps a nightclub (dimly lit, loud noises, distracting lights, limited egress, transient population, sans alcohol) than it does a warehouse.
