Bowlplex Ltd was a bowling and leisure corporation that owned and operated 18 "total entertainment centres" across England, Wales and Scotland.
Bowlplex was formed in 1976 to acquire the Branksome Bowl then known as Wessex Bowl, although it was not until 1984 that long-serving Managing Director Tracy Standish became involved with Bowlplex. Over 25 years Bowlplex grew into a national group at 18 locations across the UK offering late-night licensed bars, dance floors, American pool and amusement games in addition to ten-pin bowling.
Final additions to the Bowlplex group are leisure and entertainment centres in Cwmbran, Wales, and Camberley, Surrey. Both centres were operated with the new style of operations, with Brunswick lane machinery, scoring system and Meriq online bookings package. The Stadium sports bar and Grill and Chill also had the addition of a new food and beverage operating system.
Bowlplex Centres were found at Basingstoke, Birmingham, Blackburn, Braehead, Brighton, Bristol, Camberley, Castleford, Cwmbran, Dudley, Dunfermline, Nantgarw (Nr Caerphilly), Oxford, Poole Branksome, Tower Park, Portsmouth: Gunwharf Quays, and Tunbridge Wells .
