Recently, private member club brand Lodge2A announced that it will be opening its flagship location in 2026 in Nashville. However, the brand, which aims to mix elevated food and drinks with virtual shooting sports entertainment, has big plans for other markets across the country.
Lodge2A shared that it is targeting expansion to several markets following Nashville, including Charlotte. Other areas of interest include Tampa, Austin, Houston, Scottsdale and Atlanta.
Lodge2A will feature immersive shooting simulations, with scenarios ranging from target practice to hunting. The menu at the Nashville location has not been revealed in detail. However, a world-class food and beverage team will be crafting the dining experience, according to the release.
“Lodge2A is designed to foster camaraderie and forge connections, reigniting the essence of the American spirit in an unparalleled atmosphere,” Andy Williams, co-founder and CEO of Lodge2A, said in the release.
The concept will feature simulator bays where members can participate in technology-driven shooting experiences. There will be competitions, leaderboards and an app where members can track their progress. The simulations are designed to provide a high-quality experience while maintaining a level of safety that cannot be achieved at a traditional shooting range.
“We are leveraging previously inaccessible technology to provide a realistic and stimulating shooting experience that will appeal to everyone from novices just looking to have fun to advanced shooters looking to train and improve their real-world skills,” Williams said.
As of now, it is unclear when the concept will enter the Charlotte market. What Now Charlotte briefly connected with co-founder Tyce Miller over phone, but he was not immediately available to provide a comment.
