Cinergy Entertainment will bring a new bowling alley – including glow-in-the-dark bowling – and games to Tyler’s new Village South shopping center in late 2017, the company confirms.

The Village South adjoins The Village at Cumberland Park on South Broadway Avenue. Cinergy Entertainment also will feature games, a zip line, a full-service bar and dining options, according to a press release.

“We’re very excited to be opening a bowling and entertainment center here in the Tyler area,” Jamie Benson, Cinergy’s co-founder and executive vice president, said. “We cannot wait for to the community to enjoy what Cinergy has to offer.”

This would be the fourth Cinergy Entertainment in Texas. They usually include movie theaters, but the Tyler location won’t – instead, it will serve as a complement to the nearby Studio Movie Grill, according to its CEO, Jeffrey Benson.

“With Cinergy’s multi-venue entertainment components, our concept is always expanding, this location will be our first in which we are specifically focused on bowling and family entertainment,” Benson said in that release. “With Studio Movie Grill across the street, we hope to complement each other and become the premium entertainment destination for the area.”

The site will include more than 20 bowling lanes, a Laser Tag area, a Sky Walker zip line, multiple event rooms, a full bar and numerous dining options.

Neil Hupfauer is the president and COO of the corporation. He was a co-founder of Main Event Entertainment, a successful bowling alley company.

“Tyler is the perfect community for a family entertainment center. The area has dense family demographics with strong economic stability; we can’t think of a better place to open our family entertainment center,” Hupfauer said.
