RALEIGH, N.C. – May 8, 2026 – ParTee Shack, the North Carolina–born competitive mini golf and social entertainment brand, today confirmed a single-flagship-per-market growth strategy designed to make every ParTee Shack location a destination worth traveling for. As part of that strategy, the company has consolidated its Raleigh operations into a single flagship venue — permanently closing its original 2021 location near Garner, N.C. — and is accelerating preparations for its forthcoming Charleston, S.C. build, the brand’s largest venue to date.
The model is deliberate: rather than saturate markets with smaller footprints, ParTee Shack is investing in fewer, more ambitious locations, each engineered to deliver a competitive mini golf experience guests can’t find anywhere else in the country.
“We’re not building family entertainment centers. We’re building destinations,” said Danté Valor, Chief Marketing Officer of ParTee Shack. “We have mini golf like you’ve never seen before — the challenges, the obstacles, the way the courses are designed to put two people head-to-head. This is mini golf reimagined, and our job is to make sure ParTee Shack is destination-worthy for both tourists and loyal guests. That’s why we’re committing to one flagship per city.”
ParTee Shack’s growth has followed a deliberate iteration pattern. The brand opened its original location in 2021, situated near Garner just south of Raleigh, to prove the concept at smaller scale. Greensboro followed as a significantly larger build, expanding the experience to include go-karts and a full arcade alongside the brand’s signature challenge-based mini golf. The brand’s Raleigh flagship advanced the model further with duckpin bowling, VR laser tag, and a refined version of the competitive mini golf format.
Each location has been a deliberate step up — bigger footprint, deeper experience, sharper execution.
Charleston continues that pattern. It will be the brand’s largest venue to date, featuring challenge-based mini golf, go-karts, and a full social entertainment offering — purpose-built as a tourism anchor in one of the Southeast’s strongest visitor markets.
“Charleston is the proof point for the strategy,” Valor said. “When the experience is genuinely different, people travel for it. Our job is to keep raising that bar with every location we open.”
