A new bowling centre, Larry’s Lanes, has just been opened in Seaton Carew in Hartlepool by Rubicon Pastimes.
The project was financed by a bank loan, which allowed the firm to refit premises and install a bar and food area.
Lloyd Nichols, managing director at Rubicon Pastimes, said: “This loan from Yorkshire Bank has provided us with the investment we need to completely refurbish and fit out our new bowling alley. We are really excited about the future and look forward to continuing to expand the business in the years to come.”
The firm also owns a similar family entertainment centre one in Scarborough, which was purchased in 2013.
Larry’s Lanes was created after Nichols was granted planning permission to change an arcade and children’s soft play area into a tenpin bowling alley.
