Main Event Entertainment has locations throughout Texas, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio. The company’s performance in recent years has positioned it for an aggressive growth strategy that will build on its high-performing centers in Texas and its newest locations in Tempe, Arizona, which opened in November 2013 and Alpharetta, Georgia which opened in June 2014.
