One of the longest-standing business on Bay Road, Stardust Lanes, is this month’s recipient for The Saginaw Township Business Association’s Spirit of the Township Award.

Stardust Entertainment Center (Stardust Lanes), 3750 Bay Road, recently completed an expansion that includes a concierge desk, four escape rooms, a third bar and dining area with 26 taps and seating capacity for 200, as well as 70 brand new arcade games, a prize store, a party zone, bumper cars, two-story laser tag, and a private mini suite with four mini lanes and state of the art audio and visual effects.

Remodeling is currently underway for a new, refreshed VIP suite as well.

“The business has been invested in the Saginaw Community for many years, and continues to reinvest into the community, which is why they are a great example and recipient of our Spirit of the Township Award,” STBA representatives said.

The business got its start on a stroke of good luck when its first owner, who also owned State Lanes, used his winnings from a trip to Las Vegas to open the Stardust Lanes location.

It was purchased in the early 1980s by Gary Richards (who also until the 2000s owned Candlelight Lanes in Bridgeport and State Lanes).

The business, the original location of which serves as one of the longest-standing businesses on Bay Road, now offers, besides the new renovation, 25 public lanes, a taproom, Whiskey Wall, VIP suite, full-kitchen, an Aces Lounge, 70 new arcade games, and more.

The Spirit of the Township Award recognizes businesses that contribute to the sense of community, progressive culture and exceptional business climate of Saginaw Township.
