Orange Beach, Ala. – (OBA) – Loop Center Properties will go before the Orange Beach Planning Commission on April 14 to request permission to combine five lots along Perdido Beach Boulevard in Orange Beach to build Orange Beach Mini Golf. The company is also seeking site plan approval for the facility.

The lots are on the north side of the road and contain both Bubba’s Restaurant building and a small house east of there used as the office for Bubba’s. The longtime restaurant announced on April 2 that it was closing permanently after operating for 27 years. See related story.

The planning commission will meet in a work session at 3 p.m. and a regular session at 4 p.m. in council chambers at city hall on April 14.
