In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Curt Skallerup, founder and CEO of the eatertainment company Larks Entertainment. Larks is preparing to launch several “active entertainment” concepts, featuring everything from shuffleboard to putt putt to obstacle courses, and franchisees can pick and choose from those to build out their own eatertainment footprints. Curt joined the podcast to talk about the second wave of eatertainment and how it can go from novelty to social mainstay in markets both big and small.

In this conversation, you’ll find out why:

• We are in the midst of eatertainment’s second wave, and it’s driven by adults
• Modular franchising could be the key to eatertainment’s growth potential
• To drive frequency, eatertainment will need to focus on value
• Eatertainment is adapting to appeal to all generations
• There’s room for everyone in the eatertainment space
