- Attractions:
- Multilevel go-kart track with high-speed electric Superkarts
- Over 100 arcade games

- Scratch kitchen restaurant and 7D Motion Theater
- Event Space: 10,000 square feet dedicated to private events, with weekday activation strategies targeting corporate and group bookings.
- Community Focus: Mario Andretti emphasized a commitment to being a “good neighbor” and contributing to the Glendale community.
- Scottsdale in Sight: While no site has been chosen yet, company leadership confirmed a third Arizona location is expected—likely in Scottsdale—within the next two years.
- Market Context: The new venue adds to a growing cluster of high-traffic entertainment options in the Westgate Entertainment District and supports regional economic development.
Investor Takeaway:
The West Valley, particularly around Loop 101, continues to attract major entertainment and retail development. For single-family rental investors, this boosts the area’s livability and desirability—supporting long-term tenant demand. Scottsdale’s inclusion in Andretti’s expansion plans also signals continued retail and leisure interest in affluent East Valley submarkets.
