I want to address the rumors on this bowling alley today. With a heavy heart we will not be going forward with the bowling side of this business effective MAY 22 2016. The losses have grown over the last 4 years to a point that nothing could bring it back to an even +/- for the year. The bank has agreed to let us turn lightnig bowl into a sprots bar/entertainment venue because on the numbers it generated. I will be calling all team captains and telling them whats happening and have a list of potential new places to bowl. This is the most difficult thing i,ve ever done. All the valued relationships over the years and i can only hope we can continue them. Believe me my choice from the bank was end bowling and change or probably not be there.I will miss the bowling and seeing all of you on a weekly basis but the reality is it's not going to get better. I hope all of you will understand and look forward to seeing you in the future. From Jean and myself thank you and god bless all of you. TODD
I was last at Regal about 10 years ago and they did cover up 2-4 lanes and install a stage. Maybe they had removed it since then, but they were the first bowling alley in CB to do this. Lightning Bowl did the same about 5 years ago.bargainhunter wrote:You are thinking of Lightning Bowl. Regal doesn't/didn't have a stage.
But here's news from Lightning Bowl too. That leaves 1 bowling alley in CB!
