Spare Time Entertainment operates 18 family entertainment centers across 12 states. Bowling, arcades, food, drinks, events, and a lot of moving parts. We are a hospitality business at heart, which means our financials are built on volume, margin, and speed. We recently relocated our corporate office to Huntersville, North Carolina, just outside Charlotte.
