ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — As one new entertainment center revs up for its Albuquerque debut, another has bid the city adieu.

iT’Z closed its doors at 4595 San Mateo NE earlier this week after nearly 10 years in business.

An iT’Z employee told the Journal on Wednesday the company was unable to come to terms on a new lease agreement for the building. She said there were no plans to relocate elsewhere in town.

The closure comes amid construction for Main Event Entertainment’s new nearly-50,000-square-foot “eat-play-bowl” center a few miles away near Interstate 25 and Comanche NE.

Just 1½ years ago, the city welcomed the restaurant-bar-arcade chain Dave & Buster’s.

iT’Z — tagline: “Family Food & Fun” — opened in Albuquerque in the summer of 2006. The city was considered the test market for the chain at the time. The company’s website currently lists four locations, including three in Texas.

The closure leaves empty a 53,000-square-foot building north of the San Mateo/Montgomery intersection, though it’s not expected to stay quiet for long.

Anthony Johnson, who is marketing the property with Pegasus Retail team members Kira Wege and Steve Lyon, said the space has been attracting interest from a variety of potential tenants, and they “expect to lock something up quickly.”

“We are actually looking at all different types of uses for that location,” Johnson said of the property, owned by Albuquerque’s Goodman Realty Group. “It’s an exceptional retail intersection but it would also be a great office/call center, it could be a great school site, it could be a great non-retail use. We actually are talking to several non-retail (users) at the moment.”
