ISOS Isos Acquisition Corporation

Bowlero Corp., the world’s largest owner and operator of bowling centers, and owner of the Professional Bowlers Association (“Bowlero”), has announced that it grew revenue in the first nine weeks of fiscal Q2 by more than 20%, while growing same store sales by 8.7% ahead of its plans to list on the NYSE through a merger with Isos Acquisition Corporation (NYSE: ISOS.U, “Isos”) later this quarter. Upon the closing of the transaction with Isos, Bowlero’s common stock and warrants are expected to trade on NYSE under the new ticker symbols “BOWL” and “BOWL WS”.

Bowlero Corp., which announced Q1 results on November 15, 2021, continues to outpace pre-pandemic performance. In the nine weeks ended November 28, Bowlero Corp. increased total center revenue 20.3% to $134 million.

Bowlero Corp. also grew its bowling center portfolio by adding four new bowling centers in the United States – consisting of two acquisitions of centers in Spring Hill Lanes in Spring Hill, FL, and Stars in Vacaville, CA, and the opening of two newly constructed locations in Oxnard, CA and Tysons, VA.

“Through the first nine weeks of fiscal Q2, we are continuing to see substantial sales gains from pre-pandemic levels,” said Brett Parker, President and CFO of Bowlero Corp. “Strong same store performance along with unit additions continue to drive our excellent performance.”

Bowlero Corp. also recently announced the rebranding of its two iconic New York City venues from Bowlmor Lanes to its premium Bowlero brand. The transition of the two Manhattan locations, in Times Square and Chelsea Piers, exemplify Bowlero Corp.’s brand unification strategy, in which the three remaining Bowlmor Lanes locations in Atlanta, GA, Cupertino, CA., and Scottsdale, AZ will ultimately join 151 premium Bowlero centers and 160 traditional centers.

“It’s another historic chapter for Bowlero Corp. to have our flagship New York City centers join the Bowlero brand,” said Colie Edison, Chief Customer Officer for Bowlero Corp. “The Bowlero brand represents the future of bowling; one that is rooted in the rich history of the sport and embraces the vibrant future of the industry. We look forward to continuing to deliver the best in bowling entertainment to our beloved New York guests; many of whom have grown up in our centers and are now introducing the love of the game, and the experience, to the next generation.”
