Lane7 have confirmed their newest location in the historic town of Durham in the Walkergate Leisure Park.
The former Fat Budda restaurant is set to undergo an extensive internal and external transformation, with work due to start on site soon. The site will create more than 30 jobs for local people.
Lane7 locations bring together quirky bowling lanes and great gaming, including – interactive darts; beer pong; ping pong; Shuffle Board and retro arcade machines. All washed down with great cocktail and the best burgers around.
The brand is no stranger to the North East of England – having been founded by Tim Wilks in Newcastle in 2013. They then went on to open another Lane7 in Middlesbrough, as well as a sister-brand ‘Gutterball’, in North Shields.
Graeme Smith, Chief Operating Officer for Lane7, said: “I can’t wait to bring our premium bowling offering to Durham. The chance to open another site in a region that has supported us tremendously over the past decade was a no-brainer. Every Lane7 location is fiercely independent in spirit, décor, and activity; designed with the locals in mind. It’s bowling, but not as you know it.”
