Lucky Strike is a bowling alley chain operated by Lucky Strike Entertainment, LLC, which owns and operates a chain of facilities that include bowling alleys and billiard parlors, bars, lounges, restaurants and venues for art and music. Founded in 2003, the company is based in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, California.[1]

History

In 2008, the Hollywood branch of Lucky Strike was used in Episode 5, Season 11 of America's Next Top Model; the marquee bearing the name of the alley was clearly visible as the contestants walked in. In the episode, Jay Alexander presided over a "teach"--a learning session in which the contestants were asked to perform a runway walk along a lane of the bowling alley.

In 2010, the company and CEO Steven Foster were subjects for an episode of CBS's Undercover Boss.[2]

On July 23, 2023 Lucky Strike sent out an email to its customers stating that they have agreed to be sold to Bowlero Corp. They also said they expected the deal to close in the later half of 2023. The deal was officially closed on September 18th 2023.

Pop culture

In the 2021 film Venom: Let There Be Carnage, as Venom is arguing with his host when he is ready to eat an alleyway mugger, he mentions Lucky Strike when he said he was going to use the mugger's head to bowl a 300-point game.
