Putt Putt Noodle T
he UK’s largest family leisure franchise is on the hunt for new franchisees in the UK & Europe. We Do Play operates
immersive family entertainment brands across the world. Their best-known UK brands are Flip Out and Putt Putt Noodle. They are an established operator who
have enjoyed unprecedented growth in the leisure and hospitality sectors, stemming from opening their fi rst UK venue in 2015. The founders were also the very same team behind the Boom: Battle Bar brand, which opened 30 sites in 34 months, before selling the business to XP Factory PLC in November 2022. Putt Putt Noodle venues range from
10,000 to 30,000 square feet and combine a proprietary blend of minigolf, cocktails & sushi – all with a pan-Asian twist. Elliott Shuttleworth, founder, says: “We
love franchising and we love our experiential leisure business. All of our directors started out as franchisees and have owned and operated multiple leisure businesses. We still own and operate over 50% of our portfolio ourselves. This allows us to innovate, trial new concepts and continue our position as the
Established: 2010
market leaders for all things experiential leisure in the UK and Europe.” The ideal franchisee has experience within the leisure and/or hospitatlity sectors, but it’s not a deal breaker. Putt Putt Noodle is seeking energetic, entrepreneurial individuals – hungry for success and growth within an innovative network. The market opportunity has grown consistently year-over-year for the last decade. When it comes to franchise support, Putt Putt Noodle (and the wider We Do Play group) is there every step of the way. The relationship starts by giving franchisees access to prime retail locations and supporting fi nance applications (even providing fi nance in some cases). This assistance continues all the way through the build and the We Do Play group provide input on things like venue design, store build, local marketing strategies, recruitment, systems, etc. Their revered operational backgrounds ensure franchisees have the correct team in place, ready to supervise the entire pre-opening process. Putt Putt Noodle also provide ongoing franchisee training, store training and then an operational team supports you once the venue opens.
