Centers by State that are not owned by Bowlmor
WIth the recent news that Bowlmor will be purchasing Brunswick bowling centers I think that this is a necessary thread to have. If this thread gains traction I will put together a blog or some other post so that we can have a single list of nationwide bowling centers that are not owned by Bowlmor. While I'm tyring to remain positive and hope that the end game is more along the lines of converting a portion of centers to "entertainment and party focused" locations while retaining some locations as "traditional" centers that may focus on weekend parties I think it is best for us to remian informed of other options.
If you could post to this thread any centers you are aware of that are not Bowlmor owned in the following format I will begin to make a master list organized by state. You can also make additional comments if you feel that they are informative.
Arizona, Gilbert 85298: Flipside (Family Entertainment Center - does have Sports shots)
Arizona, Mesa 85208: Mesa East Bowl (Family Owned, have heard positive things for league bowling)
Arizona, Phoenix 85003: Lucky Strike (Upscale party bowling center, does not oil lanes and does not have leagues)
Arizona, Phoenix 85020: Let it Roll Bowl (Never bowled there, reviews are positive for one-time party bowlers, negative reviews for leagues)
Arizona, Tempe 85284: Main Event Entertainment (No Leagues, appears to be pricey)
Sorry for the constant posting:
Arizona, Tempe 85287: Sparky's Den (Located in the basement of ASU's Memorial Union, parking will be difficult, no leagues, $2.00/game for non-students)
Arizona, Glendale 85301: Glenfair Lanes (Have tournaments and leagues, bowled state tournaments in here in the past)
Missouri, Springfield 65804: Lighthouse Lanes (Family owned, house pro -- mainly caters to Christian crowd)
Missouri, Springfield 65810: Battlefield Lanes (I think individually-owned, pro shop, leagues)
Missouri, Springfield 65804: Enterprise Park Lanes, Sunshine Lanes, Holiday Lanes (Individually owned by same guy -- heavy league activity, Enterprise hosts Greater Ozarks Open tournament, pro shop at Enterprise and Sunshine)
Tinley park,Il Tinley Bowl, Centennial Lanes. Orlando Park,Il. Orlando Bowl. Modena, Il Thunder Bowl. richton Park,Il Lakewood Bowl. Lynwood,Il Lynwood Bowl. Lansing , Il LAN Oak Lanes. Colton,Il Dolton Bowl. Calumet City,Il Castaways Bowl, blue Island,Il Burr Oak Bowl. Oak forest,Il Oak Forest Lanes. Hammond,Ind Olympia Lanes. Dyer and Merriville , Ind Stardust Bowl 2 & 3. This is just a few that I can think of off the top of my head
Good idea, but would be a HUGE amount of work to put together.
You're not doing your part. We can't name the non-blow-Mor centers in SoCal for you... ;-)Originally Posted by Aslan
I have 64 centers within 90 minutes of me. I believe 12-13 are either Bowlmor, AMF, or Brunswick.
Better get busy typing... Because inquiring minds want to know!
There are 14 Brunswick chain centers in So Cal area. I haven't a clue how many AMF's
