Following an uncertain year, we’re delighted to be able to continue our investment in the high street and give customers a brand-new experience in locations where we don’t currently have a presence. It means a lot to us to be able to support the local communities with new job opportunities. We are hoping to create at least 500 jobs by the end of this year with the new venues that have opened and those we have planned.”

During last lockdown all staff were further trained in preparation to open again. The senior management team will continue to heed official government advice and will regularly monitor, and adjust the plan, over the coming weeks and months. Safety measures inside the venue include Perspex screens, full machine clean between customers and sanitiser stations.
Mark continued: “We look forward to welcoming customers back to gaming once more and we feel we have a unique edge in that we can offer them brand-new, modern venues that have been designed with our customers in mind. Customers can game with total confidence. Thank you to all our staff who have worked tirelessly to get the venues up and running ahead of opening.”
