Simplicity Esports and Gaming Company Acquires Gaming Center Next to California State University, Fullerton Campus


Cal State Fullerton had student enrollment of 41,408 for the 2020 Fall Semester.

Boca Raton, Florida, March 24, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Simplicity Esports and Gaming Company (OTCQB:WINR) (“Simplicity Esports”), announced that it has acquired the assets of an esports gaming center across the street from California State University, Fullerton campus. The location is in a mixed use building with street level being commercial space and the above floors as rental apartment housing for students.

Roman Franklin, President of Simplicity Esports, stated, “I am thrilled to announce the acquisition of our 13th corporate owned esports gaming center. This location will serve the student body and surrounding neighborhood of Cal State Fullerton. As the state of California continues to increase vaccinations and relax restrictions, I believe these gaming centers will be some of our strongest performing gaming centers in the country. In 2019, Fullerton combined with the other previously announced acquisitions generated over $2.7 million in revenue.”

This location is the third corporate owned gaming center in California for Simplicity Esports.
