The game will soon be up at Round1 in Lithonia. Employees confirm that the entertainment facility will on Sunday, December 4 close for the final time at 10PM. Round1 opened their location at The Mall at Stonecrest (2929 Turner Hill Road) March 4, 2017, in a space created by the combination of several smaller shops. No explanation was given for the closure.
Round One USA, the U.S. branch of Japan-based Round One Entertainment, first entered the American market in 2010 with a location in City of Industry, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. Today the U.S. division includes about 50 facilities across the country offering a variety of activities ranging from bowling, billiards, ping pong and darts to karaoke, arcade games and traditional sports like baseball and basketball via their "Spo-Cha" (Sports Challenge) offering. Round1 also features a restaurant and full bar.
Following the Stonecrest closure, Round1 will operate just one location in metro Atlanta. A combination Round1 + Spo-Cha opened in a large portion of the former Sears department store at Cumberland Mall near Smyrna in March 2021. The Cumberland Round1 spans approximately 85,000 square feet, significantly larger than the Stonecrest outpost.
