"To bring smiles to all through the entertainment we create."
This is Round1's mission since our founding. To carry out this idea, we provide the services to match our
customers' needs and adapt ourselves to be able to stand out during these rapidly changing times. Having a
competitive spirit that fears no change, practicing empathy for those around us, and being strongly passionate
towards our work - these are the principles that help us to innovate new forms of entertainment.
By year 2025, we aim to reach one hundred stores across the US! Accomplishing this and bringing smiles across
the nation is done by fostering close relationships with the local communities. With these goals in mind, we will
continue to develop exciting, new Round1 Bowling & Amusement centers across the US.
History
The first Round1 was constructed in Japan in 1980, by our parent company Round One Corporation, where it started as a simple roller skating rink. A few years after, Round1 Bowling was born, and rapid expansion ensued.
Soon after that, Arcade and Karaoke were added. Round1 had grown into large-scale entertainment centers with
multiple ways to have fun.
25 years after Round1’s establishment, a new entertainment concept named "Spo-Cha" was born. The birth of
“Spo-Cha” would mark the beginning of Round1’s ambitious goal to expand stores across the entirety of Japan. On
its 30th Anniversary, Round1 had the idea to transform "the fun of Japan" into "the fun of the World." This is where
Round1 first decided to tackle their first international venture: the United States.
10 years into the journey, California-based Round One Entertainment, Inc. has developed recreational centers
across multiple states, cities and communities. It is our mission to bring our centers far and wide, and to spread joy
to everyone we can reach.
By 2025 we plan to have 100 stores opened nationwide. On average, that is about one store being opened every month!
8,518 machines
The total amount of Arcade games at Round1 in the US. There are games from the US and exclusive games being imported straight from Japan. This could cover 11 football fields!

The total number of scoops of ice cream sold in a year. Our $0.99 ice cream (tax not included) is very popular with the kids!
287,851 ft.
