Red Engine’s Darts and Shuffleboard Venues Put New Life Into Cities

Red Engine, the operator behind Flight Club and Electric Shuffle, reported a 10 percent rise in quarterly sales to £27.7 million, with 22 of its 24 venues hitting record weekly figures in December. Total system sales, including franchise locations, surged 25 percent year‑on‑year to £46.4 million. The company attributes growth to the booming demand for experience‑led nightlife, especially darts and shuffleboard, which have gained popularity post‑COVID. Red Engine plans further UK openings and new bars in major US cities and Sydney’s Newtown.
