West Des Moines “eatertainment” venue Smash Park is announcing its first franchise location in Pella. Franchisees Dr. Luke Ballenger, a Pella native, and Brian Seidl of West Des Moines are working closely with Smash Park to bring the concept to Pella with support from the City of Pella and local employers Pella Corporation and Vermeer Corporation. It will be located just south of Highway 163 at exit 40 in the Prairie Ridge Development, and the project is slated to break ground in June.
Ballenger said the city holds a special place in his heart. “We love the community of Pella and are thrilled to play a part in its growth,” he said. “Smash Park is a unique concept that will add a whole new dimension of fun to complement the existing attractions. It offers an incredible variety of entertainment and recreation options – there will be something for people of all ages and interests to get excited about.”
