The Centre Livingston strikes deal with Hollywood Bowl

The Centre in Livingston is set to expand its leisure offering with the arrival of bowling operator Hollywood Bowl.

The 26,000 sq ft venue is set to open within the next year and will feature 22 bowling lanes, an amusements area, as well as a bar and diner.

Hollywood Bowl will join the scheme’s existing portfolio of over 150 stores and restaurants, including Flannels, H&M, Wagamama, Nando’s, and Five Guys.

The Centre is planning to expand its leisure offering to encourage people to ‘shop, eat, and play’ when they visit the scheme.

The asset was acquired in November 2023 by LCP, part of M Core, and has since welcomed the arrival of Scotland’s first Cinnabon branch, Rituals, BeLeaf Juice Bar, Beauty’s Inn, Pop Specs, Buzart, Afro Crest, and Elite Smile Dental Clinic.

Furniture retailer The Designer Rooms has also recently opened a 10,000 sq ft showroom at The Centre.

Neil Woodward, asset manager at LCP, said: “We are delighted to have exchanged with Hollywood Bowl to take approximately 26,000 sq ft of new leisure space at The Centre, Livingston.

“The opening of a 22-lane bowling venue next year will be a major milestone for us as we plan to expand even further into the leisure sector and also add additional retail and leisure brands to our portfolio.”

Rakesh Joshi, director of leasing at LCP, added: “The arrival of Hollywood Bowl is an exciting time for us as we begin to introduce our new leisure concept to the shopping centre.

“It will really enhance the current offering and put Livingston on the map as a top destination for visitors to shop, eat and play, and have a great day out.

“Since the start of the year we have welcomed so many fantastic retailers to The Centre, Livingston with even more announcements coming soon.”
