In 2008, Round One Entertainment Japan began looking overseas to the United States for more growth and expansion. In 2010, the company opened its first U.S. location in the Los Angeles suburb of City of Industry, California. The biggest challenge for the company at that time was that “Round One Entertainment” was an unknown entity in the U.S. But within a few years, Round One quickly opened up its second, third, and fourth locations in California and now has over 50 locations across the U.S. opened or planning to open.

Round One USA, the U.S. branch of Round One Entertainment, has been continuing to grow rapidly nationwide since 2014. We position ourselves differently from our competitors by offering a wide variety of activities including our Kids Play Zone (an indoor playground area for the kids) and Spo-cha concept. Targeting a wide range of customers from young children to the elderly, Round One continues to grow rapidly in the U.S. market.

As the number of Round One stores increase, sales and revenue have been quickly increasing as well. Through our new store expansions, Round One quickly building a solid brand awareness throughout the U.S. This type of approach to spread awareness of Round One is vital in becoming a national brand in the entertainment and amusement industry.
