Disco Bowl expands with the acquisition of 3 Family Entertainment Centres from QLP
Disco Bowl, based in Nottingham is a family entertainment operator led by Pete Terry & Nigel Blair. They have six UK locations and have today announced the acquisition of three multi-activity centres from QLP. The deal was finalized today for an undisclosed sum.
The acquired centres are:
- Superbowl UK Cardiff
- Superbowl UK Newport
- Superbowl UK Warrington
CEO Pete Terry expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, "These centres are strategically located and align perfectly with our expansion goals at Disco Bowl. We have long admired QLP's rapid growth in recent years, and these venues are leaders in their local markets. This deal benefits both parties—QLP can concentrate on a more focused portfolio, while we strengthen our presence across the UK."
In the near term, these locations will continue operating under the Superbowl UK brand, but Disco Bowl plans to rebrand them using the company's newly unveiled logo, already featured at their Nottingham and Nuneaton sites. The company aims to enhance the offerings at these centres and build on the success they’ve experienced since opening.
Terry added, "While it's too early to outline specific renovation plans, we've had tremendous success with our Scrapyard Golf and Karaoke Box concepts. As our name suggests, we emphasize creating a dynamic entertainment experience. These centres can expect DJ-led events and an upgraded light and sound system, reflecting our signature style across our existing locations. Exciting times are ahead, and we’re eager to take these venues to the next level."
Disco Bowl is privately owned by leisure industry investors Nigel Blair and Pete Terry. The company operates the largest bowling alley in the UK in Nottingham, with 48 lanes, as well as locations in Nuneaton, Chatham, Worcester, Lewisham, and Banbury.
