Nelly to open ‘Dirty Bowling,’ reviving historic Florissant bowling alley
ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – St. Louis native and hip-hop star Nelly is expanding his business portfolio with a new venture, Dirty Bowling LLC, set to renovate the old Olympic Lanes in Florissant.
The Florissant City Council has approved Dirty Bowling LLC’s takeover and refurbishment of the Olympic Lanes bowling alley on New Halls Ferry Road. The council also approved a liquor license for the establishment, although the opening date has not yet been announced.
“There was a discussion over this request, and the petitioner was able to share with us all of the improvements and money,” said Florissant Councilman Paul Manganelli. “They are putting into that bowling alley that did pass.”

Olympic Lanes, originally opened in 1973, will be utilizing the same 12 wooden lanes that were used in the 1960 Tokyo Summer Olympics. The renovation aims to breathe new life into the historic venue.
With the council’s approval, Nelly’s Dirty Bowling LLC is poised to revitalize a piece of Florissant’s history, though the community will have to wait for an official opening date.
