World Sports Grille
From Sega Retro
To do
- Category:Photos of World Sports Grille Seattle
- Category:Photos of World Sports Grille Tucson
- Rename this article World Sports Grille Tucson.
- Migrate World Sports Grille page to a page about the chain (i.e. the main GameWorks page vs individual locations)
- Create World Sports Grille Detroit.
- Create World Sports Grille Seattle. 731 Westlake Avenue North, Seattle, Washington 98109, United States. Opened August 2007 (maybe the 28th)[1]
- Do we create pages for "unreleased venues" like we do unreleased games? I'd imagine we would... if so, create World Sports Grille New Hampshire or w/e city it was planned for. Was planned for "early April".
- Another planned (and possibly built?) venue: World Sports Grille Harrisburg, Harrisburg, PA (Harrisburg Mall)
- Maybe a "Restaurants" section in the "Sega USA venues" omni?
- Seattle's logo has the Sega logo removed, and I haven't seen any other traces of the name elsewhere. Hm.
- From the official website: "We operate a network of restaurants, bars, and entertainment facilities throughout North America, including Mexico and the Dominican Republic." ??? Is this referring to maybe the... restaurant management firm/company that Sega Entertainment USA hired to set these restaurants up? I thiiiink so, but putting this here for now.
- "In August 2007, the GameWorks Grill became the World Sports Grille. A July 23, 2007, article in the Nation’s Restaurant News reported that pressure from competitors Chuck E. Cheese’s and Dave & Buster’s is strangling business at GameWorks’ flagging 19 locations. The Sega-owned company is aiming to up its food and drink revenue by retooling itself as a chain of adult-oriented (ergo, grill-E) casual restaurants. The first WSG concept launched in Detroit, and Seattle followed a month later."[1]
- Multiple news sources have commented that the Seattle location's two neighbors were also "Sports Grills".
