00:01Expressandstyle.com at the opening of a brand new Super Bowl UK venue at the
00:07Mander Centre in the heart of Wolverhampton with 10 lanes of bowling, a soft play
00:13centre, interactive darts and a safe apply zone plus plenty of food and drink options.
00:19Will we be set for life in the fast lane or on the hard shoulder or are we going to
00:24strike out completely? Let's go and see.
00:30So we're here with the boys family. Hello. We've got Mum and we've got Izzy. Who's winning?
00:49Me and Vinny. What about Dad, how's he doing? Oh he's beating us. Izzy have you bowled before?
00:57Well not really little. So you're still learning, still learning. And what do you think of this
01:04place guys? Is it ticking the boxes? Yeah, it's fantastic. Just what we need for Wolverhampton.
01:11Yeah, yeah. It's a good family fun and everyone can be involved. You'd agree that Izzy? Yeah?
01:18Yeah. Cool. And Dad, Mum's beating you. Is that right? So she says. So she says. What do you think of the place then Dad? Obviously it's going to come tonight. It's absolutely amazing. A real
01:31great addition to the sick session as well. Somewhere else to come on and go to the pub. She can come here. Yeah, it's all good. And have a pizza.
01:38Paul, we'll let Mum continue to crash you. Thank you very much.
01:45We're here at Super Bowl with George Smith, the business development and brand executive. Very good title.
01:53It is indeed. It's a long title but it's good. I mean what a place this is. Thank you so much. We're so excited to be here in Wolverhampton.
02:01Game changer we think for the Manda Centre. So yeah, thanks for the kind words. And yeah, we're really excited.
02:06I mean, first of all, how big is Tempting Bowling in the UK?
02:10It's massive and it's getting bigger and I think as an industry we understand that and I think we realise that people are going out and drinking less.
02:16What people are doing is going out and competitive socialising. So in here, as you've seen, we've got bowling, we've got interactive darts.
02:22And that's what people are doing these days. People are drinking less but they want to go out and when people are spending, they're spending it doing competitive socialising. So short answer, really well.
02:32And families as well as we've seen with the bowling, we've seen with the arcade games and the football games and everything. So it really is for all ages and families.
02:43Yeah, of course it is. It doesn't, and I say this all the time, but it doesn't matter if you're five or 65, we've got something for you.
02:48Whether it's bowling, whether it's the shop play for the little ones, we cater for all ages and we're really proud of that as a brand.
02:53And as we mentioned, the location couldn't be any better really and right in the centre of Wolverhampton here at the Manda Centre.
02:59Yeah, it's perfect and we've worked really closely with the Manda Centre to get the journey right for the guests.
03:03So whether they're coming by car, to get them down here as smoothly as possible. And you're right, the natural football from being in the city centre is great as well.
03:11And this is a soft opening tonight, if you like, but very exciting, loads of people here. So when are you going to be open officially?
03:17Tomorrow morning, 21st of May at 9am and we're open every day from 9am till midnight.
03:21Thank you George. Thank you very much.
03:23Okay, we're here with our good friend Cherry Shine from Wolverhampton.
03:27And we saw you earlier playing darts, how did you get on?
03:30Oh fabulous, what a ride great fun that was, it was fantastic.
03:34I'm not sure exactly are the rules on some of the games, but I'm sure I'll get it again.
03:39And people from all UK have certainly hit the bullseye when it comes to this place tonight we're looking at.
03:46In terms of location, in terms of they've covered all the bases, haven't they?
03:50So that's fantastic to see this in our city. Such a range of experiences you can have.
03:56We've got all the gaming area, the boulders, it's brilliant to see. It's really hot.
04:01It's fantastic.
04:03Open all day for all the family till 9pm plus.
04:07So it's taken up a lot of space, isn't it, in the Mandel Centre, which might otherwise have been taken.
04:12Yeah, absolutely. There's been a lot of change in the Mandel Centre.
04:15And it's been great to see this scale of operation coming in on.
04:20It's been quite a long time, but this is absolutely freemium, freemium.
04:24Wonderful. Well, we'll let you get on to your racing day now.
