WEST PLANO, TX -- Pinstack, a 50,000-sq.ft. entertainment center that offers 28 bowling lanes, a ropes course and climbing wall, arcade games, laser tag and bumper cars opens this week in West Plano, TX. It also features a full-service restaurant, boasting a chef-inspired menu highlighting local and regional cuisine, along with a full bar and private dining area.
Pinstack belongs to the Entertainment Properties Group Inc., which operates five venues in Texas, New Mexico and Colorado. The new Texas facility is located at 6205 Dallas Pkwy., and EPG is planning to open another in 2016 at Alliance Town Center in Fort Worth.
"Pinstack is a playground for kids and all ages with a chef-inspired restaurant and state-of-the-art entertainment," said EPG president and chief executive Mark Moore. "We've designed the venue with moms and dads in mind so that when they come to Pinstack for an afternoon or evening, they will enjoy themselves just as much as their kids, if not more."
Last month, Pinstack announced that it would hire 250 employees to staff the facility.
