Round One, one of the largest arcade businesses in Japan, has set its sights on the United States. The company has already made progress with its hybrid bowling alleys in the U.S., and aims to double the number of bowling alleys in the country to 100 by 2032. Its first arcade-only Round1 branch opened in Vegas this April, and it’s opening two more this year with an eye to 100 by 2032 as well. Overall the company made 59.5 billion yen ($379 million) in the U.S. and 97.9 billion yen in Japan over the previous fiscal year on the strength of its bowling operation, and as its arcade rival Genda attempts to make inroads in the U.S. by buying 8,000 mini locations, it’s looking to form an answer.
