This long-time bowling alley turned into a franchise of the Hooters Restaurant chain in 10/2009. The remodeling cost $1.3 million and Hooters retained the building's bowling alley, the chain's only one. The building reopened for VIPs and invited guests on 10/26/2009, for the general public, a day later. The restaurant could seat 250 and the facility also had a new 24-lane bowling alley and a casino. Hooters did not last long here or in the Seattle area, in general. The Renton location and one in South Lake Union closed, both owned by the Chicago-based Altium Development Group. Altium apparently had legal troubles with another party, forcing it to close rapidly in 05/2011. The former Hooters facility, owned by MBA Cascade Plaza LLC, was part of the Cascade Shopping Center; it remained vacant c. 2013.
