Why Did We Stop Using Groupon?

If you've been a longtime fan of Strikers, you might remember seeing us on Groupon in the past. We know that scoring a deal feels amazing, and we love giving our customers great value. But here’s the thing—we’ve decided to step away from Groupon, and we want to explain why it actually benefits YOU.

Groupon is a great way for businesses to get noticed, but it also comes with some drawbacks. When businesses list deals on Groupon, they have to offer steep discounts, and then Groupon takes a big cut of the revenue. That means less money going back into improving our lanes, food, arcade, and overall experience. And let’s be honest—when you visit Strikers, we want you to have the best time possible, not just a cheap one.

What We’re Doing Instead

Rather than giving a chunk of our revenue to the Coupon App, we’ve decided to invest directly in YOU, our amazing customers. We’re now offering the same great savings (or better!) through our own promotions, and special deals. That way, you get to keep more money in your pocket without needing a third-party coupon site.

How You Can Still Get Great Deals

If you’re looking for ways to save at Strikers, here’s what we suggest:

• Follow us on social media – We regularly post exclusive deals, giveaways, and special promotions.
• Join our email list – Subscribers get first dibs on discounts and special events, Just download the OpenLane App and make sure you opt in for messages and emails from Strikers.
• Check our website Frequently– We run awesome specials that give you the best value without the Groupon hassle.
• Visit us during off-peak hours – We offer lower rates at select times, so you can bowl more for less.

The Bottom Line

We loved introducing new people to Strikers through Groupon, but at the end of the day, we’d rather reward our loyal customers directly. By skipping the middleman, we can offer even better deals while keeping our prices fair for everyone. So, the next time you’re searching for a Groupon deal at Strikers, just check with us first—you’ll be glad you did!
