Hollywood Bowl smashes profit expectations despite living costs crisis

UK's biggest tenpin bowling operator says its low-cost entertainment will appeal to cash-strapped families

Hollywood Bowl, the UK's biggest tenpin bowling operator, has increased annual revenues and profits to well above pre-pandemic levels and believes its value entertainment will continue to appeal to families cutting back on household spending.

The company, which claims to be cheaper than its rivals, said the ability of a family of four to play for less than 22 would continue to make it attractive during the cost of living crisis.
