Overview: Round One operates large indoor leisure complexes in Japan and overseas, combining bowling, arcade games, karaoke, billiards, and Spo-Cha into multi-entertainment destinations. Management is expanding these complexes as a key growth focus.
Market Cap: ¥310.8 billion
Round One fits directly into this screener through its push to add more multi-entertainment venues.
