Pinstripes closes Southwest Orange location

Southwest Orange lost one of its newest businesses this week.

In a move that surprised even employees, Pinstripes Holdings Inc. closed 10 of its 18 locations, including the one at 11643 Daryl Carter Parkway, Orlando, in the Vineland Pointe plaza.

“Pinstripes Holdings Inc.has taken an important step to secure our future by voluntarily filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and closing some locations, with the support of our lenders,” the company announced in a social media post.

The Southwest Orange location opened in April 2024 in a 34,000-square-foot space. It featured a full-service bistro, 16 bowling lanes, four indoor and outdoor bocce courts, two outdoor patios, and four private event spaces for groups of up to 1,000.

“Pinstripes is excited to open at Vineland Pointe, offering Orlando residents and visitors a new hotspot to revel in dining, entertainment and memories,” founder and CEO of Pinstripes Dale Schwartz said of the location’s opening. “We extend a warm welcome to our inaugural guests in Orlando, inviting them to indulge in culinary delights, immersive entertainment and memorable gatherings.”

Although company officials said customers’ gift cards and event deposits remain valid, none of the remaining eight locations are in the Southeast. On Pinstripes’ website, the listed locations include Washington, D.C.; San Mateo, California; Bethesda, Maryland; Northbrook, Illinois; Oak Brook, Illinois; South Barrington, Illinois; Edina, Minnesota; and Cleveland, Ohio.
