The Largs and Millport Weekly News will be revealing big plans to radically rehaul the Escape amusuements arcade facility in this week's paper.

Rumours have persisted in recent years that the national chain had been eyeing up a local site, with the Escape building in Gallowgate Street, long being rumoured as the likely candidate.

The original building opened in 1967 as the Manhattan Amusements, before going on to become the Cumbraen Amusements in the 1980s. At around 2000, a bowling alley was built at the new Lanes Amusements.
