Centres, Stores and Arcades

Centre VR, created by Franchise VR’s team, firmly established itself as Europe’s largest virtual reality centre, celebrating six+ successful years of bringing cutting-edge VR experiences to a wide audience. With its flagship location in Bournemouth, Centre VR attracted countless visitors, offering an extensive range of VR games, educational simulations, and immersive experiences. The success of this location fuelled the company’s expansion ambitions, leading to the opening of a franchise in Enfield, marking the beginning of a broader growth strategy. This location was the first of several planned, with more franchise locations expected in the near future, allowing Franchise VR’s team to bring its innovative entertainment concept to even more communities.

 

The Franchise VR team first opened a pop up VR store in the prestigious Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth. This store provided the town with a glimpse into the immersive world of VR, offering a variety of experiences for shoppers and visitors. It played a crucial role in spreading awareness about the benefits and entertainment possibilities of VR, making it more accessible to new audiences. The pop-up at Gunwharf Quays was part of the organisations strategy to engage customers in different locations and showcase the power of VR technology in a convenient, high-traffic setting.

 

 

Franchise VR’s team also opened a compact 10 station VR arcade store in the, new at the time, Odeon BH2 cinema complex in Bournemouth, which became a popular go-to destination for entertainment seekers.

Situated in the heart of the town’s leisure hub, this location offered a combination of VR gaming and cinema entertainment in the same venue, creating a unique experience for guests. The BH2 site further cemented Centre VR’s reputation as a leader in the VR entertainment industry, providing the perfect environment for both newcomers and VR enthusiasts to explore the future of immersive technology. With its innovative approach and continued expansion, Franchise VR sets the standard for virtual reality entertainment across Europe.
