Lucky Strike Entertainment

Lucky Strike Entertainment, formerly known as Bowlero Corporation, is a leading operator of location-based entertainment venues across North America. Established in 1997 by Thomas Shannon, the company has evolved from a single bowling center into a diverse entertainment platform.

It offers a wide array of experiences through its extensive portfolio, which includes over 360 locations. These venues feature bowling centers, amusement facilities, water parks, and family entertainment centers.

The company’s notable brands are Bowlero, AMF, and Lucky Strike, each targeting different customer segments. Bowlero centers provide a modern and fun environment perfect for open bowling, group events, and leagues.

AMF centers focus on traditional bowling experiences with an emphasis on league play. Meanwhile, Lucky Strike locations are upscale venues crafted for high-end play, featuring lounge-style settings and premium amenities.

Company Milestones

In 2019, Lucky Strike Entertainment enhanced its role in the bowling industry by acquiring the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA), which helped promote the sport and engage a global fan base.

The company has further diversified by acquiring water parks and family entertainment centers, such as Raging Waves and Boomers Parks, broadening its entertainment offerings.

In December 2024, Bowlero Corporation rebranded as Lucky Strike Entertainment, adopting a new legal name and stock ticker symbol. This reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to expand beyond traditional bowling.
