About Bowlero Corp
Bowlero Corp, now known as Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation, is the world's largest owner and operator of bowling entertainment centers. It offers diverse experiences that blend traditional bowling with modern amenities.
With approximately 350 locations across North America, the company serves over 40 million guests annually through its family of brands including Bowlero, Bowlmor Lanes, AMF, and Lucky Strike.
Founded in 1997 by Thomas Shannon, Bowlero Corp began as Bowlmor Lanes in New York City, transforming traditional bowling alleys into vibrant nightlife destinations.
The company expanded significantly in 2013 by acquiring AMF Bowling Centers, rescuing the brand from bankruptcy and adding hundreds of locations nationwide.
In 2014, Bowlero acquired Brunswick Corporation’s bowling center business, further solidifying its position in the industry. The acquisition of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) in 2019 allowed Bowlero to revitalize the sport globally.
In 2021, the company went public on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol $BOWL. In December 2024, Bowlero Corp rebranded as Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation, reflecting its evolution and commitment to broader entertainment experiences beyond traditional bowling.
