Comment: Fails WP:GNG, requires significant coverage in multiple reliable independent secondary sources. The company's website is a primary source and therefore not independent. Dan arndt (talk) 06:57, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
Wacky Warehouse is a chain of indoor soft play centers located throughout the United Kingdom, catering primarily to children. The brand was established in 1994, and has since become the UK's leading soft play brand, as their website claims. Each location typically features a variety of play structures, including slides, ball pits, climbing frames, and obstacle courses. The play centres are often attached to family-friendly pubs. The chain is run by Greene King. Wacky Warehouse specialises itself as a popular destination for children's parties[1], family outings and private hire of the play centre.
The first Wacky Warehouse at The Knot Inn opened in 1994 and permanently closed in Rushton Spencer in 2021 when the pub was taken over by new management.[2]
Wacky Warehouse was established in 1994 by Spirit Pubs Company, as a place for children to enjoy themselves and at the same time enjoy a family meal with their parents at the adjoining pub. The chain opened Wacky Warehouse soft play centres above Fayre and Square and other Spirit Pub brands. In January 2015, Spirit Pubs Company was acquired by Greene King for £774 million, after previously being acquired by Punch Taverns in 2005. This led to the adjoining pubs being converted to Greene King's more successful Hungry Horse chain over the year they were acquired, for example the Kiss Me Hardy pub in Colliers Wood, South London.[3]
Wacky Warehouse operates smaller play areas known as "Wacky Corners". These are typically smaller in size and are featured in smaller pubs where a regular-size Wacky Warehouse wouldn't fit.
As of October 2024 the company operates 70 Wacky Warehouses and 12 Wacky Corners.
