The entertainment destination Stephenville has been waiting for. Real lanes, real arcade, real food — built by a Tarleton senior for the community he calls home.
14,000+ college students, a growing permanent population, zero modern entertainment options. The nearest bowling alley is 45+ minutes away. Too Tall Lanes fixes that.
4–6 bowling lanes, a full arcade floor, and a snack counter. The foundation for Stephenville's first real entertainment destination. Bar and full food service follow in Phase 2.
4–6 lanes with electronic scoring, bumpers for families, cosmic bowling with black lights and music. Open bowling, league nights, and college specials every week.
PHASE 1Classic redemption cabinets alongside modern video games. A place where high scores matter, tokens still mean something, and you stay longer than you planned.
PHASE 1Loaded nachos, hot dogs, soft drinks. Real food that keeps you playing, not vending machine food that sends you home. Upgraded to a full menu in Phase 2.
PHASE 1Cold beer, cocktails, and a 21+ section. The upgrade that turns a bowling alley into a Friday night destination and seriously moves the revenue needle.
PHASE 2+Birthday parties, Tarleton org events, corporate outings, graduation celebrations, fundraisers. Lane rentals, arcade packages, catering — all under one roof. The go-to venue for every big moment in Erath County.
PHASE 1Built for a college-town market — accessible weekday rates, full pricing on weekends and events.
Per lane. Open bowling + college night specials + league memberships.
Classic redemption + modern cabinets. High scores, solid margins.
Snack counter in Phase 1. Full kitchen + bar in Phase 2 for 21+ crowd.
Justin is a Tarleton State senior — digital media and game design concentration — graduating in 2026. He grew up in Stephenville, spent years watching every weekend turn into "drive to Fort Worth or stay home," and decided to fix it himself.
The venue is named after Uncle Too Tall — family legacy, family name. This isn't a chain or a franchise. It's a locally-owned venue built from scratch, by someone who plans to be there every Friday night for the next decade.
His digital media and game design background means in-house marketing and an arcade floor curated by someone who actually cares about the games. This isn't someone who stumbled into the bowling business — it's someone who's been sketching this floor plan for years.
The 80s soundtrack? That one's personal. Justin's dad loved 80s music his whole life. The neon, the arcade cabinets, the whole feel of this place — it's a tribute to him. The music plays for him every night.
— For Dad ♥Currently evaluating commercial spaces throughout Stephenville. The right property sets up Phase 1 for success and leaves room to grow into Phase 2 and beyond. Specific location TBD — announcement coming when we sign.
14,000+ college students. Families who've been driving 45 minutes for a bowling alley for decades. A community that's been asking "what is there to do?" for too long. Too Tall Lanes is the answer.
