The world-famous Harlem Globetrotters are moving its corporate offices to metro Atlanta.

The Globetrotters, who have been entertaining fans for nearly 90 years with their basketball artistry and wizardry, are owned by Peachtree Corners-based Herschend Enterprises, the city said in a news release.

The team offices have been in Phoenix since 1995, but will move to a metro location by the end of the summer. Herschend purchased the Globetrotters in 2013.

Herschend Enterprises is the largest family-owned themed attractions company in the United States, the city said. The company creates, develops and operates entertainment, tourism and hospitality properties in 26 locations in eight states.

“We’re glad to know Herschend is thriving in Peachtree Corners,” said Mayor Mike Mason. “The city is delighted to have the family entertainment business here.”

Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly said the offices was being moved to Peachtree Corners. We apologize for the error.
