Bingemans plans to open a new Kingpin entertainment centre in Nepean in fall 2027, expanding its entertainment and hospitality business into the Ottawa market with a venue combining bowling, arcade games, indoor mini golf, dining and event facilities.
The facility will be located at a Choice Properties retail centre at the intersection of Robertson Road and Moodie Drive. The announcement represents an expansion of the Kingpin brand, which is part of Bingemans’ broader growth plans.
Multiple entertainment attractions planned
The new Kingpin location will feature 24 bowling lanes, including eight VIP lanes intended for private gatherings and special events. The venue will also include a GameworX Arcade, with interactive games and prizes, and Putt Social, an indoor mini golf attraction featuring technology-based experiences.
Food and beverage offerings will be available alongside birthday party packages and dedicated spaces for group events. The combination of attractions is intended to accommodate individual visitors, families, social gatherings and corporate functions. The facility will offer businesses space for corporate events, team outings and other group activities, while also targeting consumers looking for entertainment and dining options in one location.
Mark Bingeman said the Ottawa-area expansion reflects the company’s plans to develop additional entertainment venues.
“We’re excited to introduce Kingpin to Nepean and the Ottawa Region,” said Bingeman. “This expansion reflects Bingemans’ commitment and growth to delivering extraordinary entertainment venues where people can gather, play, and celebrate life’s moments.”
Choice Properties welcomes addition
The Kingpin location will be situated within a Choice Properties retail centre, adding an entertainment component to the property’s existing mix of retail and recreational businesses.
Nadia Credico, senior manager of retail leasing at Choice Properties, said the company expects the new venue to complement existing offerings at the property and attract additional visitors to the Nepean community.
“We are thrilled to welcome Kingpin to our property,” said Nadia Credico, Senior Manager, Retail Leasing at Choice Properties. “Kingpin builds on the mix of retail and recreation already here, bringing another exciting experience to the Nepean community. Together, these uses are helping us create a more dynamic destination where people can shop, play and connect with one another.”
Bingemans said the Nepean project builds on Kingpin’s existing locations and its approach of combining entertainment activities, food and beverage services, and event facilities within individual venues.
The company describes the new location as part of its continued expansion and efforts to develop community-focused entertainment spaces.
