The owner of the popular competitive socialising brand Flight Club is setting its sights on over 45 new venues within the next five years.

Red Engine, which also operates the Electric Shuffle concept, has announced plans to open six new Flight Club and two Electric Shuffle venues this year, bringing its total number of sites to 39. By the end of 2030, the group aims to expand its estate to an impressive 84 venues.

This ambitious growth strategy comes as Red Engine reports a surge in sales, driven by its expanding global footprint. The company revealed on Tuesday that its revenue for 2024 had climbed to £77.1 million, marking a 15% increase compared to the previous year.

Steve Moore, Chief Executive and Co-founder of Red Engine, highlighted the strategic approach behind their expansion: “Growing our footprint is about more than just opening new doors. It’s about carefully choosing locations that align with our brands and the communities they serve. With each new venue, we see our global presence strengthen.

“We’re incredibly excited about the journey ahead as we work towards making Flight Club and Electric Shuffle household names worldwide.”

Since launching its first venue in Shoreditch in 2015, Red Engine has expanded across the UK to cities including Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Leeds, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. Internationally, the group has established a presence in Dublin, New York, Las Vegas, and Melbourne, with more global locations on the horizon.
