Bowling is a sport enjoyed by young and old. From bar-centric hangouts to family-style alleys, it is one of the most popular leisure-sport activities in the country. Although there are often opportunities for open bowling, league play is more prevalent. Approximately 45 million people six years and older go to a bowling center every year, with the largest demographic between the ages of 18 and 29.
Bowling alleys for sale are typically part of an entertainment center or events venue, which houses a variety of other opportunities for revenue under one roof. This makes them popular locations for groups, such as leagues, birthdays, corporate and other special events. Location is key to the success of a business. Malls, movie theaters, laser tag and mini-golf that are on-site or nearby often help increase revenue. Bowling centers with multiple activities have received renewed interest and often include:
When considering whether to buy a bowling alley, ask about the current expenses and whether the equipment, such as pinsetters, ball return and scoring system is included in the sale, as these items are costly. Find out whether the building in which it located is leased or owned. If leased, what are the terms and when does the lease come up for renewal? Answers to these questions can help you determine your immediate and mid-term expenses. Regular maintenance is vital to keeping the lanes operating and bringing in revenue. If the equipment is older or repairs occur frequently, is there a service contract?
Having industry knowledge and the right marketing strategy is essential to the success of the business. Armed with this knowledge, you too can be the owner of a successful bowling alley!
