Disco Bowl, based in Nottingham is a family entertainment operator and have ten locations in the UK and have today announced the acquisition of two bowling centres from MFA.

The deal was finalised today for an undisclosed sum.

The acquired centres are:

• MFA Burnley

• MFA Hereford

Commercial Director Nigel Blair 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 these venues which are leaders in their local markets.

As with all good deals this deal benefits both parties – MFA can concentrate expanding their Triple Two Coffee brand whilst we look to significantly invest, refurbish and enhance these sites.”

In the near term, these locations will continue operating under the MFA brand, but Disco Bowl plans to rebrand them using the company’s newly unveiled logo, already featured at their Nottingham, Warrington and Nuneaton sites.

The company aims to enhance the offerings at these centres and build on the success they’ve experienced for many years. 

Blair 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, Newport, Warrington, Swansea, Cardiff and Banbury. 

MFA will remain as the landlord of these two premises and are delighted that Disco Bowl have agreed to lease these two centres whilst MFA concentrates on their own expansion programme nationwide.
