AMF Pro 300 Lanes was a bowling alley in Portland, Oregon, United States.
The bowling alley AMF Pro 300 Lanes operated on Powell Boulevard at 30th Avenue in southeast Portland's Richmond neighborhood. [1] The "old-school", "1950s-era" [2] alley had 36 lanes and an arcade. [3]
A fire broke out in the alley on November 20, 2015. [4] [5]
In March 2017, media outlets began reporting on the alley's closure, renovation, [6] and replacement with a Target store. [5] [7] [8] MAJ Development Corporation had purchased the building from AMF Bowling Centers Inc for $4.8 million in 2016. [9] Oregon Public Broadcasting said, "This facility is considered one of the last traditional bowling centers in Portland. It attracts customers who are really serious about the sport." [10]
