SEPT. 27, 2022 - Two big names in entertainment are coming to The Farm at Allen, a 135-acre mixed-used development being built at the intersection of State Highway 121 and Alma Drive.
High 5 is a family-friendly entertainment venue with arcades, bowling, laser tag and mini golf. The company plans to add its first DFW-area location to the site’s growing entertainment district. The company currently has two locations in Austin.
High 5 expects to open in late Fall 2023 with 24 bowling lanes, a miniature golf course, a two-story laser tag arena, axe-throwing, escape rooms and special event space.

Pickleball fans will have a new favorite hangout at Chicken N Pickle, a chef-driven restaurant and sports bar with pickleball courts, yard games, and pet-friendly outdoor lounge space. The company operates six locations in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.

Both sites are expected to generate significant new sales tax for the City of Allen from regional visitors. The Allen Community Development Corporation offered both companies incentives to choose Allen as their next locations. This funding will also be used to develop some of the outdoor landscaped areas at High Five. Incentive amounts were approved during the Sept. 27 council meeting.
