Country Lanes North in Duluth Demolished to Make Room for New Mega-Gym

Opened in 1976, Country Lanes North near the Miller Hill Mall closed its doors for good back in June, now it's just a pile of rubble.

Country Lanes North was a busy place on most nights offering a variety of sports like bowling, volleyball, and bag leagues, but that all had to come to an end and after 46 years the announcement was made that the final day would be June 21st and they celebrated all the memories with free bowling and pizza.

The space is now being cleared to make room for a new Planet Fitness location, Duluth's first, the new 22,300 square-foot building will feature over 100 pieces of cardio machines, weight and strength training equipment, tanning beds, massage chairs and aqua massage beds.

As you can see by the photos, the building and volleyball area have been completely demolished, and only the foundation of the building and the Country Lanes North sign remain.

With over 2,000 locations across the country and nearly 30 in Minnesota, Planet Fitness is one of the largest fitness clubs with over 10 million members. Planet Fitness has two membership options, one for $10 a month, that will get you unlimited access to the gym, the 'Black Card' membership is $24.99 and allows you to bring a friend, use the tanning beds, massage equipment, and get other perks and discounts.
