Sneak peek of new Clydebank bowling alley with £10k of bookings
Tenpin is set to open in the Clyde Shopping Centre at 10am on Friday, August 15, and customers have already been spotted trying to get into the site.
The location is set to offer 18 bowling lanes, arcade machines, darts, pool and karaoke rooms, and it appears bankies are already eager to try it out.
Ahead of the official opening, the Glasgow Times were invited down to share a sneak peek of the venue.

She said: "I'm really excited, but I'm also more nervous than anything I've ever done before.
"We've had a lot of interest, and even now, there are people standing at the door. Everyone in Clydebank has been so lovely.
"We have hired a team of about 35, and it's all local people, which is quite good.
"Hopefully, we aim to do another set of hiring, probably around October, in time for the Christmas period."

Pre-booking, which is already being offered by the venue for this month and next, has found itself inundated with eager customers.
Angie continued: "We have had £10,000 worth of pre-bookings, that's crazy, isn't it?
"I only set the time frame from last month through September, so within that time period, we've got £10,000 worth.
"It is definitely in high demand.
"I think we'll get a lot of people walking in rather than pre-booking, so we will wait to see how that goes to begin with.
"We've got a couple of birthday parties booked, they're only on Saturdays and Sundays, but we do have some.
"It's not just bowling, we have the pool, karaoke, arcades, and it's at a cheaper rate, so it's definitely worth popping in and having a wee look around."
Tenpin Clydebank is located at Units 13-17 of the Clyde Shopping Centre, which were most recently the St Margaret's Hospice Shop and before then the old Argos store.
