However, its arcade remains closed under New York State guidelines, Destiny USA said in a news release announcing the company’s reopening.

The venue occupies a 55,000-square-foot space on the third-floor Canyon area of the shopping and entertainment complex.

Apex Entertainment is headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts.

The Destiny USA release begins with the exclamation, “Bowling is back!” Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Aug. 14 announced that bowling alleys throughout New York state would be allowed to reopen on Aug. 17 with strict safety protocols in place. Bowling alleys are currently allowed to operate at a 50-percent maximum-occupancy limit, per the governor.

Apex Entertainment says its “primary focus has been and will remain” the safety of the community, its guests, and employees, Destiny USA said.

Apex Entertainment “ensures” the safety and sanitation of its venue through “mandated staff certifications.” The certifications include ServSafe food handlers; ServSafe takeout; TIPS alcohol certifications; allergen awareness training; CPR certification; and crowd-control certification.

On reopening day, Apex Entertainment offered its first 50 guests a company swag bag and a chance to win a $250 gift card, per Destiny USA.

Apex Entertainment’s hours of operation are: Wednesday and Thursday from 2-7 p.m., Friday: 2-8 p.m., Saturday: 12-8 p.m., and Sunday: 12-7 p.m. The venue is closed on Monday and Tuesday.

Apex Entertainment first opened for business in the spring of 2019.
