The developers of the planned Surge Entertainment center are asking the East Baton Rouge Parish Planning Commission to rezone the former Winn-Dixie property at the corner of Burbank and Lee drives.
Developers are asking for the property—which Winn-Dixie vacated in early 2022—to be rezoned from light commercial to commercial alcoholic restaurant use.
The Drew Brees-backed entertainment center will feature a bowling alley, laser tag, an arcade, mini golf and a “bistreaux” restaurant.
A page on Surge Entertainment’s website teases that a Baton Rouge location is “coming soon.”
The Planning Commission is expected to consider the item at its December meeting.
The property serves as the anchor for the 10-acre shopping center, which was built in the late ‘90s. Our Mom’s Restaurant & Bar, GNC and Go Auto are among the center’s current tenants.
