It’s not your father’s bowling alley, HeadPinz Fort Myers, under construction on the west side of Treeline Avenue near the airport, is expected to open June 17th.
The 50,000-square-foot center is much more of a multi-use entertainment attraction.
That’s because this location will feature a two-story laser tag arena, a suspended aerial ropes course and an area featuring more than 40 top arcade games.
“There’s nothing like it in Florida,” said Mike Cannington, director of operations for Bowland Centers. “You have to go to Atlanta or Dallas to find a building that has all these pieces.”
Oh, and there’s bowling too. The center will have 28 lanes — 16 in a traditional setting, eight in a boutique area with its own bar and four “old time” lanes with pin setting by hand and a vintage look.
There will also be an indoor/outdoor lounge, conference, meeting and party rooms. Beyond that will be Nemo’s Sports Bar, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a full bar and large-screen TVs.
“We’re testing lamb chops and ribeye steaks,” Cannington said. “This is going to be so far apart from what a traditional bowling center brings to mind. The area is ready for it.”
Sound like fun? Cannington hopes at least 125 people find it a fun place to work too.
Positions include management, food and beverage (cooks, prep, bartenders, and servers), game zone attendants, bowling center customer service, event sales staff and mechanics.
