Eastwood Mall Lands Another Valley First – Dave & Buster’s: the Nation’s Premier Destination to ‘EAT, DRINK, PLAY, & WATCH’

 

One of America’s favorite names in entertainment is coming to the Eastwood Mall Complex in Niles, Ohio.  Dave & Buster’s brings over 23,000 square feet of gaming, food, and entertainment to a space near Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, with entrances located both on the outside of the mall and the interior concourse.  The newest iteration of Dave & Buster’s will be the Mahoning Valley’s largest venue to WATCH your favorite sporting events on numerous HD screens while you EAT & DRINK surrounded by arcade games and virtual reality simulations featuring Top Gun ®, Maverick ® and Transformers ® for the entire family to PLAY. The opening of this highly popular entertainment venue is just the first step in redeveloping the mall’s anchor space which currently houses Dillard’s which is anticipated to close this summer.

Work is now underway to introduce new and exciting businesses to that portion of the mall that will offer more great shopping, phenomenal entertainment and valuable services to families in our region.  This project is part of the ongoing reinvestment in and re-invention of the locally owned Eastwood Mall Complex. “Our community deserves nothing but the best! We’re excited to welcome the nation’s preeminent entertainment destination, Dave & Buster’s, to the Valley’s one stop destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment – Eastwood Mall Complex, states Cafaro Co-President, Anthony Cafaro, Jr.,

Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc., is the owner and operator of 210 venues in North America that offer premier entertainment and dining experiences to guests through two distinct brands: Dave & Buster’s and Main Event. The Dave & Buster’s brand appears on more than 160 stores in 42 states, Puerto Rico, and Canada.  Each one offers guests the opportunity to “Eat, Drink, Play and Watch,” all in one location. Each store offers a full menu of entrées and appetizers, a complete selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and an extensive assortment of entertainment attractions centered around playing games and watching live sports and other televised events.

The Eastwood Mall Complex is located at 5555 Youngstown-Warren Road, in Niles, Ohio.  It is one of America’s largest shopping centers and attracts 15.4 million visitors annually with more than 200 department stores, specialty shops, restaurants, hotels and entertainment options.  The Eastwood Mall Complex is owned and managed in association with Cafaro-affiliated companies, based in Niles, Ohio.
