Funlab reopens Strike Bowling and Holey Moley attractions

With its facilities around the country forced to close in March, amusement and entertainment operator Funlab - operator of the Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq, Strike Bowling, Holey Moley Golf Club and Sky Zone trampoline centre brands - is progressively reopening its facilities across Australia in line with state government easing measures.

The group advises of each of its brand websites of a ‘Hygiene Commitment’ to patrons, with measures put in place “to help keep our guests safe and prevent the spread of COVID-19”.

The group’s Sky Zone centres in Sydney and Brisbane have also introduced booking systems to cater for the more limited numbers allowed to enter each facility.

The closure of Funlab’s facilities in March came just four months after the group’s private equity group Next Capital had agreed a deal to sell the business to Archer Capital.

The sale, believed to have valued the group at about $250 million, appears to now be stalled.

Funlab closed its Sky Zone attraction in the Sydney suburb of Miranda in November last year, due, according to local media reports, "to external circumstances out of our team's control".
