Bowlero, the operator of bowling centres in North America, has agreed a deal to acquire Lucky Strike.

Lucky Strike currently operates 14 locations across nine states in the US, which will now come under the Bowlero portfolio.
Bowlero will pay $90m for Lucky Strike, with the deal expected to be completed in the first half of Bowlero’s fiscal year 2024.
Founder and CEO of Bowlero, Thomas Shannon, said: “Lucky Strike is a premier experiential entertainment brand, and we could not be more excited to add its world-class portfolio to ours.
"Lucky Strike’s impressive family of locations in flagship cities across the country naturally complements our national footprint, immediately launching our presence in major cities like Boston, Chicago and Denver.”
The deal expands Bowlero’s portfolio to 343 venues across 35 states.
