SAN FRANCISCO—GameWorks Inc. is planning a national expansion of its concept, an entertainment and dining experience for Millennials, teens and families. Currently, GameWorks operates seven entertainment centers in seven states.
Averaging 20,000 to 30,000 square feet, each facility boasts an “esports” lounge, large arcade gaming floor and its store-within-a-store, modern American-branded restaurant concept, The Works Kitchen at GameWorks. Some locations feature other entertainment options such as virtual reality experiences and laser tag.
GameWorks plans to bring its entertainment concept and esports lounges to an increasing number of US cities. Partnering with JLL will help identify strategic locations ripe for its demographic and concept. JLL's Scott Wetzel and Joe Bevan are overseeing site selection and transaction services for GameWorks.
