A fire broke out in the alley on November 20, 2015.[4][5]

In March 2017, media outlets began reporting on the alley's closure, renovation,[6] and replacement with a Target store.[5][7][8] MAJ Development Corporation had purchased the building from AMF Bowling Centers Inc for $4.8 million in 2016.[9] Oregon Public Broadcasting said, "This facility is considered one of the last traditional bowling centers in Portland. It attracts customers who are really serious about the sport."[10]

While there was some confusion over the announcement and plans,[11][12][13] AMF Pro 300 closed permanently on September 17, 2017.[14]

The Target shop opened in 2018,[15] incorporating nostalgic design features that "[tie] in the building's bowling alley history", according to KATU.[16][17] The store closed permanently in 2023.[18][19][20]
