Chandler, Arizona is set to welcome Round1 Bowling & Arcade, a multi-entertainment, family-friendly facility chain. The company is excited to announce its arrival at Chandler Fashion Center.

Round1, which originated in Japan, has expanded into the United States with over fifty locations. It caters to all ages with its diverse entertainment activities. Always on the cutting edge of entertainment, this new location will feature all the Round1 favorites – bowling lanes, arcade games, billiards, and party rooms – offering fun throughout the year.

“We are thrilled to announce the opening of our third Arizona location in the Chandler area,” stated Shane Kaji, Executive Vice President at Round1. “We want to provide endless fun and help our guests create special memories. With all of our different activities, there is something for everyone in the community.”

The 65,000 square-foot space will soon allow Chandler residents and visitors alike to make unforgettable memories with family and friends. The facility will feature bowling lanes with cosmic bowling, professional-grade billiard tables, private party rooms equipped with karaoke machines, and hundreds of arcade and redemption games.

“Chandler Fashion Center continues its strong momentum with this significant lease that will take over the lower level of the former Sears space,” stated Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke. “We are thrilled to bring more unique experiential opportunities to Chandler, and we believe Round1 will be a big hit in the community for years to come.”

The arcade also includes a mix of exclusive game cabinets and crane machines imported straight from Japan and classic American games. Guests can refuel at Round1’s concession stands that offer classic selections like pizza, burgers, wings and hearty appetizers as well as Japanese delicacies such as takoyaki, gyoza and mochi ice cream.

“Round1 is a terrific addition to Chandler Fashion Center which is experiencing tremendous momentum thanks to its powerful collection of retailers and restaurants," said Monica Greenman, General Manager, Chandler Fashion Center. "Located in a portion of the former Sears, Round1 showcases Macerich’s strong abilities to replace lower-productivity retailers with popular, top-drawing new concepts that are a great fit for Metro Phoenix communities like Chandler.”
