Dave & Buster's is expanding to Tyler, with a new 30,000-square-foot facility scheduled to open on March 1, 2027. This marks the first time the chain will operate outside of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

The arrival of this venue introduces a new entertainment destination to the city, providing residents with an option previously accessible only by traveling to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.

The official grand opening is tentatively scheduled for March 1, 2027.
Market Landscape
This opening represents a broader corporate strategy to move beyond the Dallas-Fort Worth monopoly and capture regional demand in growing Texas markets. By establishing a presence in Tyler, the company positions itself to better compete for entertainment spending against local cinemas.
