A new entertainment venue is set to bring a vibrant atmosphere to West Lothian as plans for a state-of-the-art bowling alley at The Centre Livingston have been approved by the West Lothian Council. The former Debenhams store will be transformed into a family-friendly destination by Hollywood Bowl, offering 22 bowling lanes, an amusements area, and a bar and diner. This exciting project is part of the ambitious plans by LCP, a part of M Core Property, to revamp the shopping centre and attract more global brands to the area.
The bowling alley will occupy the ground floor, while the first and second floors will feature an e-go-kart track. Neil Woodward, asset manager at LCP, expressed his enthusiasm for the development, stating that the addition of the bowling venue marks a significant milestone in their expansion into the leisure sector. The Centre, Livingston was acquired by LCP in November 2023, with a vision to enhance the retail and leisure offerings and create a dynamic destination for visitors.
This transformation is expected to bring a fresh wave of excitement to the area, catering to families and friends looking for a fun and engaging entertainment experience. As the project progresses, more details will be unveiled about the additional retail and leisure brands that will join the centre’s lineup. With the approval of planning permission, the bowling alley is on track to open its doors to the public in the near future.
As West Lothian continues to evolve and grow, the addition of new leisure and entertainment options such as this bowling alley will further enrich the community and provide residents with more opportunities for recreation and socialising. It’s anticipated that the bowling alley will become a popular destination for locals and visitors alike, contributing to the vibrant and diverse offerings available in the region.
In summary, the transformation of the former Debenhams store into a modern bowling alley at The Centre Livingston is an exciting development for West Lothian, bringing new leisure opportunities and a lively atmosphere to the area. With plans for additional enhancements to the shopping centre, residents can look forward to a dynamic and engaging destination where they can relax, socialise, and create lasting memories with their loved ones.
