The results reveal growth for the business, with sales up 26% against 2022.
Red Engine, supported by its franchise partners State of Play Hospitality (US) and NightOwl Entertainment (Australia), opened four new sites in 2023 across the UK, US and Australia, taking the total Red Engine and partners estate to 25 venues – 15 owned and 10 partner-owned.
Sales across all combined businesses exceeded £100m for 2023, up 28% year-on-year, with like-for-like sales increasing by 10%. Red Engine-owned venue sales totalled £67m.
"As we head towards the 10-year anniversary of the first Flight Club, it’s incredibly rewarding to see the business grow from strength to strength," says Ross Shepley-Smith, CFO at Red Engine. "We opened two new Scottish venues in Glasgow and Edinburgh last year and our franchise partners opened a further two sites in Fremantle, Australia, and Denver, United States. All our sites hit new sales records in 2023 and our newest Scottish additions to the estate far exceeded our expectations."
More sites on the way
The year ahead will be a busy one for Red Engine and partners, as they plan to expand to 33 venues. Red Engine will open Flight Club Oxford and Liverpool and Electric Shuffle Manchester and New York, while its franchise partners have Flight Club Philadelphia, Washington, Sydney and Melbourne in the pipeline.
Flight Club Darts recently announced the news that it had reached the milestone of 500m darts thrown across its venues.
