Buy a 810 Billiards & Bowling Franchise

810 Billiards & Bowling is an upscale “eatertainment” franchise that combines bowling, billiards, bocce, ping-pong, shuffleboard and arcade gaming with a full scratch kitchen and a craft cocktail lounge. The concept was created in 2015, when founder Michael Siniscalchi converted a rundown bowling center in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, into a modern, multi-use social venue.

Each location runs on several revenue streams: lane and table gaming, dining, bar sales, and private events such as corporate outings, birthdays and venue buyouts. Venues come in scalable small, medium and large formats so the model can fit a range of markets, and a mobile point-of-sale system lets guests order food, pay and start games from their phones.

Headquartered in Myrtle Beach, 810 operates corporate and franchised locations across South Carolina, Arizona, Texas, Washington and Arkansas, and began franchising in 2022. The brand positions itself as one of the few upscale bowling-and-entertainment concepts open to franchise buyers, as most national competitors remain corporately owned.

Why buy a 810 Billiards & Bowling Franchise?

Buying a 810 Billiards & Bowling franchise gives an owner a stake in the growing eatertainment category, a social, experience-led segment that has proved resilient as consumers prioritise out-of-home entertainment. The brand’s appeal is its diversified revenue base: gaming, scratch-kitchen dining, bar service and higher-margin private events spread income across several day-parts and customer types, from afternoon family visits to late-night adult crowds.

A key differentiator is 810’s exclusive private-label pricing agreement with an international manufacturer that supplies bowling equipment, gaming and furniture at reduced cost, which can lower build-out and replacement spend. As an emerging system with many territories still open, 810 also offers room for multi-unit development, and a corporate sales team supports the event bookings that drive a meaningful share of unit revenue.

810 Billiards & Bowling – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training covers 70 hours of on-the-job training plus 16 hours of classroom instruction at corporate sites, spanning operations, staff management and the food-and-beverage program. Ongoing support includes field operations visits and corporate coaching, marketing help across SEO, social and co-op advertising, operating manuals, supplier and vendor networks, the mobile point-of-sale platform, and a corporate sales team franchisees can use for event sales and bookings. Buyers of an existing 810 unit should confirm what transfer training and point-of-sale access the franchisor provides when ownership changes.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The model suits a hands-on, hospitality-minded operator comfortable running a venue with several profit centres: gaming, a full kitchen, a bar and an events program. Prior restaurant or food-and-beverage experience is a plus but not required, as the franchisor trains operators on its systems; stronger fits are people-first leaders with a grasp of P&L management who can recruit and oversee a full management team. Owners should enjoy a high-energy, customer-facing environment and be able to drive local group and event bookings.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    810 Billiards & Bowling has built recognition mainly as an emerging eatertainment brand rather than through formal ranking awards. It has been profiled in industry press, including a Restaurant Dive franchise spotlight and a 1851 Franchise feature on founder Michael Siniscalchi, and appears in Entrepreneur's franchise directory and trade publications covering the family-entertainment sector. For resale buyers, brand-level visibility should be weighed alongside the reputation of the specific location, including local reviews, event-client relationships and community profile.

  4. Industry / Market

    810 competes in the US family and location-based entertainment market, an experience-led sector generating tens of billions in annual revenue and expanding at high single-digit rates as consumers shift spending toward out-of-home social experiences. Bowling-anchored eatertainment benefits from broad demographic appeal, repeat group and event demand, and combined food, beverage and gaming spend that lifts per-visit revenue. The category is relatively recession-resistant, though individual venues carry seasonality and depend on local population density and competition that resale buyers should assess.
