SEGA retained operation of the World Sports Grille after GameWorks' 2011 sale. Having received mixed reviews from food critics the venue closed in 2013. Sega had originally planned to open more World Sports Grilles across the US, though these never materialized (however, an independently run(?) World Sports Grille has since opened in Seattle, Washington).
