About Main Event
Main Event: The Premier Large-Format Entertainment Anchor. Main Event is a dominant force in the "Eat-Bowl-Play" sector, serving as a critical Anchor Tenant for large-scale retail developments and regional entertainment districts. Known for its massive square footage requirements and significant draw distance, Main Event acts as a "destination" tenant that can revitalize underperforming malls or anchor new mixed-use lifestyle centers. Following its acquisition by Dave & Buster’s, the brand is part of a coordinated National Expansion strategy targeting underserved second-tier upscale markets. Their site selection focuses on large-format "boxes" with high vertical clearance and massive parking capacity.
