Lucky Strike is closing its location at Westfield Montgomery Mall, with its final day of operation set for Sunday, January 4, according to a representative who confirmed the upcoming closure to The MoCoShow on Friday evening.

The entertainment venue first opened at the mall in March 2017, offering bowling, arcade games, food, and drinks as part of Montgomery Mall’s push to expand experiential attractions. The representative shared that the closure is due to the lease expiring, and that it will not be renewed.

The Montgomery Mall closure comes during a period of broader change for the company. In 2024, Bowlero Corporation announced a rebrand to Lucky Strike Entertainment, which included a change to the company’s legal name and a switch of its stock ticker symbol from NYSE: BOWL to NYSE: LUCK, marking a new chapter for the brand.

Locally, the first of those rebrands launched at Lucky Strike Rockville, located at 15720 Shady Grove Rd. in Gaithersburg. Other Lucky Strike locations remain open in Montgomery County, including Lucky Strike Gaithersburg at 1101 Clopper Rd. in Gaithersburg and Lucky Strike Bethesda at 5353 Westbard Ave. in Bethesda.
