WILMINGTON — As the most read stories of 2025 continue to be counted down at Port City Daily, coming in the number three spot is an entertainment complex planned for Oleander Drive.
Strikes will be a 40,000-square-foot entertainment venue, featuring a 10-lane bowling alley, traditional arcade, shuffleboard, soft darts, axe throwing, table tennis, corn hole and six outdoor pickleball courts, multi-sports simulator, foosball, eight lanes of duckpin bowling, pool tables, and ice hockey.
