Tuscaloosa’s newest bowling alley could be open in the next few months.

Daniel Tyler, a representative from the Bowlero Corp., confirmed Wednesday morning that a new bowling alley, the state’s first Bowlero-brand alley, would open sometime this spring in the former Bruno’s Supermarket site on McFarland Boulevard.

The 53,000 square-foot building that was formerly the grocery store has been vacant since Bruno’s closed in 2014.

Bowlero, the largest operator of bowling centers in the country, first announced plans for the project last May.

“Bowlero will be a one-stop entertainment destination complete with signature black light bowling lanes, lane-side lounge seats and hi-definition video walls that bring bowling to an entirely new level,” a representative told The Tuscaloosa News following the announcement last year. “The new Bowlero will also feature a giant arcade and the brand’s impressive menu that includes upscale food and beverage offerings.”

In previous article about the bowling alley in The Tuscaloosa News, the Bowlero brand was described as a “hipster-inspired hangout that combines bowling, dining and nightlife for an all-in-one entertainment experience.”

While Tyler did not offer additional details regarding what stage the project was in, the announcement stated that the alley would be open seven days a week.

In addition to the McFarland Boulevard location, Bowlero also owns the AMF Bama Lanes on 15th Street. Across Alabama, the company also owns and operates AMF locations in Auburn, Mobile, Huntsville and Decatur.
