Stars and Strikes

Stars and Strikes is an independent operator of family entertainment centers with a focus on bowling, arcade games, laser tag, and event hosting. The company was founded in 2005 by a group of entrepreneurs from Atlanta who opened the first location in Cumming, Georgia, aiming to create a multi-attraction destination for families, social groups, and corporate gatherings. Over the past twenty years, Stars and Strikes has grown steadily across the Southeastern United States, concentrating on suburban and secondary markets where large-scale entertainment options are limited.

As of November 2025, Stars and Strikes operates 17 centers in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The brand’s recent expansion includes new venues in Summerville, South Carolina, and Raleigh, North Carolina, reflecting a continued move into new markets. Additional locations are being considered for 2026 and beyond, with the company actively seeking sites in high-growth suburban areas throughout the Southeast. Stars and Strikes is open to both new construction and conversions of anchor retail spaces, which allows for flexibility in site selection and integration with existing retail environments.

Each Stars and Strikes location typically offers a mix of attractions, including bowling lanes, arcades, laser tag, bumper cars, and private party rooms. Some centers feature amenities such as VIP bowling suites and karaoke, catering to a wide range of guest experiences. The company has established itself as a reliable venue for events ranging from birthday parties to corporate team-building, supported by a comprehensive food and beverage program. Over the last five years, Stars and Strikes has continued to invest in new attractions and technology, adapting its offerings to meet evolving consumer expectations and maintain its competitive position in the family entertainment sector.

With its multi-attraction format, consistent growth, and operational history, Stars and Strikes is positioned as a credible anchor for retail and entertainment properties seeking to attract family traffic and diversify their tenant mix. The company remains privately owned and operated from its headquarters in Buford, Georgia, with several original founders still involved in leadership. Stars and Strikes does not franchise and continues to focus on company-owned growth throughout the region.
