A business called Level Up, run by Warrington brothers Phillip and Michael Knight, opened its doors on Buttermarket Street last year. The establishment offers a variety of games and activities such as crazy golf, axe throwing, archery, retro gaming, and virtual reality experiences. However, due to high rents and issues with anti-social behavior in the town center, Level Up has made the tough decision to relocate to a new location outside of the town center.
The business cited reasons such as exorbitant rent prices, difficulties in accessing the upper floors without a lift, and disturbances caused by disruptive youth as factors contributing to their decision to move. The new premises will be more accessible to all visitors and will have better sound insulation for activities like axe throwing. Level Up will be closing on December 31 to facilitate the move to the new location, with plans for a grand reopening in the future.
Despite the challenges faced in their current location, Level Up expressed gratitude to their customers and landlord for their support over the past two years. The business also extended an invitation to anyone interested in taking over their current space, emphasizing the importance of utilizing the property effectively. Details about the new location will be announced in the coming months, and customers are encouraged to visit before the relocation to enjoy the offerings at Level Up.
The decision to relocate due to financial constraints and anti-social behavior highlights the challenges that small businesses face in maintaining operations in competitive and sometimes disruptive environments. By moving to a new location, Level Up aims to create a more inclusive and enjoyable experience for all visitors while ensuring the sustainability of their business in the long run. This transition period also presents an opportunity for the business to engage with its loyal customer base and generate excitement for the upcoming reopening at a new and improved location.
