Lucky Strike Entertainment CorporationLUCK
Consumer Discretionary

Runs a single, integrated location-based-entertainment business built around AMF and Bowl America traditional bowling sites and Bowlero and Lucky Strike social venues. The platform also includes family-entertainment centers and water parks, with locations concentrated in the United States and additional sites in Mexico and Canada.

Branded bowling anchors a single, integrated location-based-entertainment business. AMF and Bowl America are traditional bowling venues, while Bowlero and Lucky Strike pair bowling with lounge seating, enhanced food and beverage, and group-event service.

The portfolio also includes family-entertainment centers and water parks. Its venue network is concentrated in the United States, with a smaller Bowlero and AMF/Bowlero presence in Mexico and Canada.

The model depends on operating physical sites and drawing individual and group visits across several leisure formats. Local event traffic, food-and-beverage execution, and guest experience are structural parts of the operating system.
