Last December we told you that GameWorks and The Works Kitchen were coming to the lower level of Westfield Montgomery Mall, next to Old Navy. Unfortunately, the company announced this week that it has closed all of itslocations and will no longer be opening any new ones.
GameWorks posted the following message on their website:
“Thank you for the many years of memories! The past 20 months and counting we have seen our business turned upside down and the continued slow economic recovery has left us no choice other than to close.
Thank you for all the love over these past decades. We hope you remember us fondly and wish you all the best. July 1996- December 2021”
GameWorks was an entertainment complex similar to Dave & Busters that also had a bowling alley, laser tag, and an E-sport lounge. The chain had seven locations nationwide, including in Chicago and Las Vegas.
According to NRN, GameWorks opened its first location in 1997 in Seattle as a joint creative endeavor by Sega, Universal Studios and DreamWorks.
No information on what could potentially be coming in its place at this time.
