And just like that, it's the last day of MAPIC It's been a brilliant blur of a week, connecting with friends and partners old and new from all across Europe. There's been a lot to celebrate, but there is still a lot to do. That's because we've got our hopes pinned on opening 10 new sites in the next two years - adding up to 180,000 sq ft to the portfolio by the end of 2025. We shared our progress and plans with Benedict Cooper for #MAPICNews - read all about it here 👉 https://lnkd.in/egPm5i85 🎳🎯🎮🍔🍸 ps: if you haven't yet, be sure to swing by Stand P-1J7 and say hi Tim Wilks Andrew Scholey Gavin Hughes Will Biggart #LookingForLanes #MAPIC2024 #LeisureRevolution

Danke, Berlin, for bowling us over last night! We held our official opening party, organised by PRESS FACTORY GmbH, celebrating the first Lane7 European venue. With over 350 guests coming through our doors for 'all their best nights in one', it was a ball-er! DJ Acid Foxy brought an electric atmosphere, taking us back to the 90s. A huge thank you - as ever - to our brilliant team for hosting the event and for showing up this morning with slightly sore heads. Lane7 Berlin, let's goooo! #berlin #lane7 #boutiquebowling #competitivesocialising

We’ve signed deals on over 120,000sq ft of new space in 2024 alone, and we’re aiming to exceed that in 2025. It’s safe to say that when it comes to this #LeisureRevolution... we’re all in! Multi player entertainment and competitive socialising are re-defining social venues across towns and cities in the UK, and Europe, so when Eri Sugiura at Financial Times asked us to share our thoughts on the UK’s fastest-growing social scene, we were more than happy to oblige. 🎳 Repurposing empty retail floor space into dynamic social places 🍔 Boosting adjacent F&B trade & footfall ✨ Unique, immersive and memorable experience, with or without alcohol 🎯 Innovative by design, the choice of activities to suit every taste Link in comments #MultiPlayerEntertainment #LookingForLanes Tim Wilks

Looking forward to Gabriele Tomlinson joining our team!

We’re bringing sexy back (to bowling) 🎳 We chatted to ACROSS Magazine about why we believe boutique bowling is still one of the best nights out. Of course, we serve our bowling with a twist. Vibrant, highly immersive and tech-enabled; our unique brand of competitive socialising and multi-player entertainment is proving its potential to be the anchor tenant of choice for many retail and mixed-use schemes. By injecting life, energy and a sense of community, leisure can be a powerful force for transforming destinations. Not only can we take a flexible approach to re-utilising and re-imagining unloved or underperforming spaces, we are also a major catalyst for boosting the fortunes of our F&B neighbours, as we all form part of a vibrant night out. Our first European sites are opening in the coming weeks, and we’re already hungry for more. And because we’re fiercely independent, we’re ready to strike the moment the right opportunity rolls along. We’ll be at #MAPIC2024 and we’ll be #LookingForLanes, so bowl on over to stand P-1.J7 and have a chat Tim Wilks Andrew Scholey Gavin Hughes Will Biggart

Tim Wilks, founder of boutique bowling company Lane7, has argued that competitive socialising concepts, like his own, are becoming the new anchor tenants for shopping developments across Europe. It comes as the business recently made its international debut, with an opening in Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz, and is seeking to grow its European portfolio by some ten venues over the next two years. 👉 For the full version of this story and to read it first sign up to the Propel email newsletter for free: https://lnkd.in/eyy_THzR
