Australian Firm Buys Main Event FECs
Sep 3, 2006, 9:59 AM
The Main Event bowling centers in Texas have been sold to an Australian firm, Macquarie Leisure Trust Group. Main Event is a Dallas-based company that had been owned by Dave Smith and Neil Hupfauer which consists of six family entertainment centers in the Lone Star state, with two more on the way in 2007. The centers are progressive in nature, and Hupfauer was cited for his contributions to the operations as a former BJI Proprietor of the Year. Macquarie owns and operates 49 bowling centers, six marinas and an outdoor amusement and water park in Australia, so the purchase is a perfect fit in that regard. Hupfauer will continue to have an active role in the operation of the centers. Sandy Hansell & Associates brokered the deal.
Since they obviously have the money, maybe they can spend some on centres in Australia too.
