CHANDLER, Ariz. - Chandler, Ariz. will soon welcome Round1 Bowling & Arcade, where the fun never ends. As a multi-entertainment, family-fun facility chain, Round1 is thrilled to announce its arrival at Chandler Fashion Center.

Originating from Japan, Round1 has expanded into the United States with over fifty locations, appealing to all ages with its diverse entertainment activities. Always striving to be on the cutting edge of entertainment, this store will have all the Round1 favorites - bowling lanes, arcade games, billiards, and party rooms - bringing everything fun under one roof all year long.

"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."

Chandler residents and visitors alike will soon be able to make unforgettable memories with family and friends in the 65,000 square-foot space, featuring 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 will fuel up for fun at Round1's concession stands, which feature classic selections of 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, including Arizona's only SCHEELS sporting goods store that brings enthusiastic shoppers in from all over the state," 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."
