All Star Lanes, the bowling alley in Manchester city centre, has announced its early closure.
American-style dinner and bowling alleys opened in 2013 and have already welcomed Rihanna and Drake after Drake’s display at the Manchester Arena, as the welcome of Lady Gaga and the cast of Corrie.
The site was stored after the company was placed under its management last year, but has now resigned with immediate effect.
Bowling tracks should be allowed to reopen on 1 August, but the final phase of the blockade was postponed until 15 August at the earliest.
All Star Lanes had already issued new protection for its bowling operations, adding screens between the tracks and the normal cleaning of bowling balls.
The organization chose Manchester for its first location outside the London gates, where it still operates 4 sites.
The company was sold to Risk Capital Partners in September last year as a component of a prepackage management.
Just a few months before the company went into administration, it paid a dividend of 16 million pounds to its shareholders, former Conservative MP Zac Goldsmith.
Its closure follows that of its neighbor Home Sweet Home, which also closed its Great Northern branch late last year.
A spokesperson for All Star Lanes said: “We are very sad to see All Star Lanes close.
“Great efforts have been made through either party to keep up with operation since All Star Lanes joined the prepackaged administration last year.
“Trilogy Real Estate remains committed to offering the combination of tenants at Great Northern Warehouse.”
It is known how many workers are affected by the closure.
