West Hollywood residents will have yet another gym to choose from just outside of the WeHo city limits in the near future, plus a bowling alley if bowling is your sort of thing. Construction of a Gold’s Gym is underway at the corner of Beverly and La Cienega Boulevards inside the Beverly Center. Sources reveal that a Bowlero bowling alley will also be coming to the space that was previously occupied by the Men’s Macy’s store at 8500 Beverly Boulevard.
A source at the Gold Gym Hollywood location tells WEHO TIMES the new Golds Gym is slated to open in the late spring/early summer of 2023. Construction workers at the location say the two new business are coming to the Beverly Center. Golds Gym will be facing La Cienega Boulevard and Bowlero Bowling Alley will be on the Beverly Boulevard side.

Bowlero Corp was founded In 1997 by entrepreneur Tom Shannon who purchased the original Bowlmor Lanes and revolutionized the industry. His vision for upscale bowling and events turned Bowlmor into a Manhattan nightlife hotspot and catapulted it onto the national stage, resulting in new locations throughout the US.
In 2013, Bowlmor purchased AMF Bowling Centers. The deal rescued AMF from bankruptcy and expanded Bowlmor’s portfolio to hundreds of locations across America.
The next year, Bowlmor AMF launched Bowlero—a new brand that would take bowling to an entirely new level. The company made headlines again that year, acquiring Brunswick Corporation’s bowling center business and uniting two longtime industry rivals—AMF and Brunswick—for the first time in history.
In 2019, they made another big acquisition: the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA). They partnered with FOX Sports to reenergize the PBA and bring the sport to millions of fans.
Today, the company is now Bowlero Corp—a global media company and the largest owner and operator of bowling centers in the world. Our team is over 8,000 strong, our lanes number over 12,000, and more than 28 million guests visit our locations every single year.
