DESCRIPTION

Pinstripes operates large-format dining and entertainment venues that combine an Italian-American bistro with bowling, bocce courts, and private event spaces. Each venue runs 26,000–38,000 square feet, accommodates over 900 guests, and features 11–20 bowling lanes, 6–12 bocce courts, and multiple private event rooms. As of April 2024, Pinstripes operated 17 venues across 10 states and Washington D.C. Revenue splits roughly 75% food and beverage and 25% bowling and bocce, but private events — which bundle both — account for roughly half of total revenue and are the primary economic driver. Each mature venue hosts over 1,000 private events per year, ranging from corporate parties to weddings, and these bookings provide revenue visibility and strong margins due to pre-planned staffing and food prep. Bowling and bocce carry minimal incremental costs, so gaming revenue disproportionately improves profitability as it grows. Pinstripes targets venues in Class A malls and lifestyle centers, positioning itself as an anchor experiential tenant. Developer partners like Brookfield and Simon Property Group provide tenant improvement funding, reducing net build-out costs to roughly $3M per venue. Pinstripes targets $9M+ in annual unit volumes and ~17% venue-level EBITDA margins at mature locations. Growth strategy centers on unit expansion, targeting 6–8 new openings per year against an estimated domestic whitespace of ~150 locations.
