Rumble Rooms

We’re looking for franchisees to partner with us at a time when landlords are actively seeking proven, high-energy leisure concepts like Rumble Rooms — offering strong deals, incentives and support to help us open quickly and capitalise on hospitality’s fastest-growing sector.

Rumble Rooms is an exciting competitive socialising brand created for a generation of customers who want more from a night out than just food and drink.

Blending high-energy games, premium drinks, group bookings, parties, events and social entertainment, Rumble Rooms offers a fresh, commercially powerful venue format designed for today’s experience-led high street.

A typical Rumble Rooms venue combines a vibrant mix of activities such as augmented darts, axe throwing, beer pong, shuffleboard, pool, arcade games, karaoke, cocktails, beers, spirits and private event spaces. The result is a high-impact, social, highly bookable destination that appeals to friends, couples, parties, corporate groups, students, stag and hen groups, birthdays and walk-in customers.

The brand has already launched successfully in Milton Keynes and is now looking for ambitious franchise partners to help take Rumble Rooms into new markets across the UK and beyond.

This is a franchise opportunity in one of the most exciting areas of the leisure and hospitality market. Competitive socialising has become a major force in UK leisure, driven by customers looking for memorable experiences, shareable moments and venues that bring people together.

Return on investment

Rumble Rooms is designed to deliver strong and accelerated returns, with attractive box economics that make the model highly scalable for franchisees. The combination of efficient fit-out, strong landlord incentives, diversified revenue streams and high-margin experiences creates a compelling investment case, with the potential for faster payback and reinvestment into further sites. This makes Rumble Rooms particularly well suited to multi-site franchise growth, enabling ambitious operators to build a meaningful portfolio at pace.

Why is now the right time?

The UK high street is changing. Traditional retail continues to make way for experience-led leisure, hospitality and entertainment brands. Shopping centres, retail parks, town centres and mixed-use schemes are increasingly looking for operators that create footfall, increase dwell time and give customers a reason to visit.

That shift creates a major opportunity for Rumble Rooms.

Landlords are actively seeking strong leisure concepts that can bring energy, atmosphere and repeat visitation to their schemes. Rumble Rooms is designed for exactly that environment: a venue that works during evenings, weekends, school holidays, corporate event periods and peak social occasions throughout the year.

Customers are also changing. People still want to go out, but they increasingly want an experience attached to it. Rumble Rooms gives them a reason to book, a reason to stay longer and a reason to come back.

A structured opportunity

Rumble Rooms is not simply a bar with games. It is a structured competitive socialising concept built around venue design, customer flow, booking strategy, hospitality, events, brand energy and operational delivery.

The model has been created by an experienced team with deep knowledge of UK leisure, hospitality, franchising, property, marketing and multi-site operations.

Each site is assessed carefully, with attention given to location, catchment, competition, footfall, visibility, local demographics, landlord support, capex, trading potential and operational viability.

The result is a franchise model that combines the excitement of a new brand with the structure, support and discipline required to build a serious leisure business.

What does our franchise package provide?

In short: the full journey.

We support franchise partners from initial enquiry through to site selection, lease negotiation, funding support, venue design, build, pre-opening marketing, staff training, launch and ongoing operational support.

Our team can help franchisees access strong property opportunities, including high street, shopping centre, retail park and mixed-use leisure locations. We work with landlords across the UK and understand what makes a venue commercially viable.

Once a site has been identified, we help shape the design, layout, customer journey, games mix, bar offer, event areas and overall guest experience. The aim is to create a venue that looks great, trades well and gives customers a compelling reason to book.

Pre-opening support includes launch strategy, marketing planning, local area activity, social media direction, event sales guidance, recruitment support and operational training. Once open, franchisees receive ongoing support across operations, marketing, sales, brand standards and performance improvement.

Revenue opportunities

Rumble Rooms benefits from multiple revenue streams, including:

• Game bookings
• Walk-in trade
• Cocktails, beer, wine and spirits
• Parties and celebrations
• Corporate events
• Private hire
• Student nights
• Stag and hen groups
• Seasonal events

This mix creates a broad customer base and gives franchisees several ways to drive revenue throughout the week.

Finance required

Applicants should have access to a minimum level of liquid capital, with the total investment depending on the size, location and specification of the venue.

As a guide, Rumble Rooms franchise opportunities are expected to require significant investment, but the format can be adapted depending on the site, landlord contribution, fit-out requirements and commercial structure.

Finance support

We work with franchisees to help them understand the financial requirements of the opportunity and, where appropriate, support conversations with banks, lenders, investors and landlords.

In some cases, landlord contributions, incentives or fit-out support may be available, depending on the site and commercial terms.

Success stories

Prospective franchisees who progress through the process will be given the opportunity to understand the business in more detail, review the model, meet the team and discuss the performance of existing venues within the wider group.

We believe in transparency and want the right franchise partners to make informed, confident decisions.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for ambitious, energetic and commercially minded franchise partners who want to own and operate an exciting leisure and hospitality business.

The ideal Rumble Rooms franchisee will be hands-on, people-focused, sales-driven and passionate about creating brilliant guest experiences. They will understand the importance of hospitality, atmosphere, standards, local marketing and team culture.

Experience in hospitality, leisure, franchising, bars, restaurants, events, operations, sales or multi-site management would be helpful, but attitude, energy and execution are just as important.

We are particularly interested in franchisees who want to grow with the brand and potentially operate multiple sites over time.

Locations

We are actively exploring opportunities across the UK and selected international markets.

Target locations include major towns and cities, strong regional centres, shopping centres, retail parks, leisure schemes, student markets and high-footfall hospitality destinations.

As the demand for competitive socialising continues to grow, Rumble Rooms is looking for franchise partners ready to bring the brand to new audiences and new territories.
