RICHMOND, Va. - Lucky Strike Entertainment (NYSE:LUCK), a $1.35 billion market cap entertainment company, appointed Richard Born and Jason Harinstein to its Board of Directors effective Monday, according to a company press release. According to InvestingPro data, the company faces some financial challenges, with several key metrics suggesting room for improvement.

Born, co-founder of BD Hotels with over 35 years in the hospitality industry, will serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. His portfolio includes interests in more than 25 hotels and 20 additional real estate holdings, including properties such as the Hotel Chelsea and the Bowery Hotel.

Harinstein, currently Chief Financial Officer of Collectors Holdings Inc., will join the Board’s Audit and Compensation Committees. His experience includes executive roles at Flatiron Health, Google, and Groupon. He also serves on the boards of Groupon and Funko.
