Sunvalley Shopping Center, Concord
The food court in Sunvalley Shopping Center in Concord reopened recently and right nearby one can see the giant signs for Round 1 Bowling & Amusement. According to the Round One’s Sunvalley employment page, there will be video games, bowling, and karaoke. Sounds fun! Based on the alcoholic beverage sign above it looks like they will also offer beer and food.

Note that this doesn’t apply to “G” rated movies.
