US-based restaurant and entertainment business Dave & Buster’s is expanding globally, with a plan for 20 stores in India and Australia.
Dave & Buster’s will roll out five stores in Australia with NightOwl Entertainment Group and open a further 15 locations in India under a partnership with the Malpani Group. The deals mark Dave & Buster’s second and third multi-store franchise agreements, “firmly cementing the brand” in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East-Africa regions with 31 stores committed to development since the company’s global expansion began last year.
“The Malpani Group, known for its passion for innovation and diversified growth, is poised to dominate the indoor and outdoor entertainment industry,” said Antonio Bautista, Chief International Development Officer at Dave & Buster’s.
“Australia’s dynamic market presents a significant opportunity for growth, and the NightOwl Entertainment Group, renowned for its innovative approach, is the ideal partner for our brand. We can’t wait to bring our unparalleled entertainment experience to this vibrant market.”
