The Olympia Lanes building is being sold to a developer with plans for a new business to move in.

Ray Sisson, a real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Stein & Summers Real Estate said the building is currently under contract.  A close date is anticipated for Tuesday, Jan. 26.

“We have a developer who has a client he has not shared who his client is who has bought the building to convert it to a retail store,” Sisson said.

The 30,000 square foot facility is going to be renovated on the inside and out.

“They had contractors in the building yesterday and the day before so it’s something that is going to happen,” Sisson said.

He said the bowling lanes will be removed and the front of the store will be remodeled.

While the store itself was not announced, Sisson said the owners have around 80 or 90 stores and that it’s a regional company.

The bowling equipment will not go to waste either, he said the owners are in the bowling business in Wichita, Kan. and can use the equipment elsewhere.  The process of removing the bowling lanes is anticipated to start next Wednesday.
