A businessman has unveiled plans to turn a disused Dundee market into a “spectacular” £1.5 million leisure attraction with 10-pin bowling and kids’ play areas.
Chris Airlie, owner of the Arklay Street Mini Mart and the Troll Inn, wants to convert the former Dens Road Market.
It would include trampolines, a mini-golf course, a bowling alley, children’s play areas and bumper cars, as well as space for eating and hosting parties.
Mr Airlie believes it has the scope to be the one of the biggest attraction of its kind in the UK.
He acquired the building, which closed in 2013, alongside the adjoining snooker club, Rack and Cue, on Dundonald Street.
The 52-year-old says he was given the idea by his kids and hopes the venture could create around 40 full and part-time jobs.
