New upscale tech-infused mini golf experience
to open at Southdale Center in the Minneapolis metropolitan area
MINNEAPOLIS, March 30,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Puttshack, the world's first and
only upscale tech-infused mini golf experience,
today announced its continued expansion in Minnesota with the signing of a new lease at
Southdale Center, a premier retail destination in the suburbs of
the Twin Cities. Located at 2004
Southdale Center in Edina, Minn.,
the new Puttshack outpost is expected to be the first location to
open in the Twin Cities in Spring
of 2024.
Puttshack Edina will be the first choice for residents and
visitors of the Twin Cities
looking for a fun and unique experience with family, friends and
colleagues. The more than 25,000 square-foot space will feature
four highly competitive, tech-driven nine-hole mini golf courses
powered by the brand's leading patented Trackaball™ technology,
which elevates the game play by keeping track of your score.
Spanning across two floors, the space will have two full-service
bars and an expansive outdoor patio with seating for up to 100
guests. For those looking to host exclusive parties for friends and
coworkers, a private event space with a capacity of 80 will be
available as well.
"We're excited to see continued growth and expansion of our
tech-infused mini golf concept, especially to Minneapolis and St.
Paul, two thriving cities in the heart of the Midwest," said
Dave Diamond, President of
Puttshack. "Puttshack Edina will serve as the ideal destination for
family outings, dates, and nights out with friends and
colleagues."
From the co-founders of Topgolf, Flight Club and AceBounce,
Puttshack is the latest leading concept in the emerging and growing
market of competitive socializing. Puttshack combines its patented
ground-breaking technology with a first-class, immersive
social environment to elevate the game of mini golf into a
cutting-edge experience that is unlike anything currently on the
market.
Puttshack's patented Trackaball™ technology is integrated
through the entire game experience, including seamless automated
scoring, bonus points opportunities, interactive games at each hole
and more. A few of the most popular holes include life-size beer
pong, air hockey, roulette, connect four, and a true/false hole,
all of which allow guests to enjoy the game of mini golf and
compete in some of their favorite nostalgic games. The game play is
matched by an innovative, globally inspired dining menu and
signature hand-crafted cocktails, as well as world-class
hospitality with an upscale vibe.
Known as the nation's first indoor regional shopping mall,
Southdale Center is conveniently located off 66th Street and France
Avenue, and serves the nearby communities of Edina, Richfield, Bloomington, Eden
Prairie, Minneapolis,
St. Louis Park and St. Paul. With a wide array of retail
boutiques and dining options, the new Puttshack will be a prime
location for a one-of-a-kind experience.
"Upscale, experiential brands like Puttshack are exactly the
type of stand-out offerings we're committed to bringing to this
community as we forge forward with the progressive transformation
of Southdale Center," said Southdale General Manager Judy Tullius.
The upcoming venue in Edina
will be Puttshack's second location in Minnesota, as the company previously announced
its venue opening in Minneapolis
in 2024.
Since opening its first location in 2018, Puttshack now has five
locations in the United States-
Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Miami, and St.
Louis- and four in the U.K. Minneapolis is one of 13 new locations that
have already been announced to open through 2023 and beyond- with
Denver, Houston, Pittsburgh, and Scottsdale projected to open
in the coming months.
Already proven in attracting a younger target demographic, the
Puttshack team continues its strategic expansion plans with the
company's 2022 growth capital round of $150
million from funds managed by BlackRock, Inc. The capital
will allow Puttshack to expand into more top markets across the
U.S., as well as invest in new technologies to enhance overall
guest experience and follows a $60
million funding round from Promethean Investments in
2021.
