WHY INVEST IN BOWLING? There is nothing more important than the answer to this question. The answer is multi-faceted, taking into consideration financial and market factors. It is a good cash business. From a financial aspect, bowling provides a strong cash flow, although it also requires a large capital investment. The equipment purchase provides a long life and is very durable, as evidenced by the fact that existing centers are still operating with the original equipment purchased forty years ago. The tax laws provide accelerated depreciation and other tax benefits that are favorable to this investment. The day-to-day business is almost all cash. With the use of the Brunswick Center Management System, computerized cash registers and security devices, business controls are all in place. Credit card use is less than 10% of all business, and there is no accounts receivable. Another important feature is the low inventory requirements. From the marketing viewpoint, the number of participants continues to grow. The population is always looking for family fun entertainment at an affordable rate, and bowling answers those needs in all aspects. Bowling appeals to all age groups, is easy to learn, participation is year-round, there are no weather restrictions and equipment purchases are not a requirement for participation. In today’s lifestyle, recreation spending has been growing at 8% annually since 1990. As lifestyles have changed, there is an increased need for family activity. Dual family employment and longer work schedules limit the amount of free time for recreation activity, especially for family outings. These factors are all favorable for a modern recreation center. Today, there are specific bowling program for families, young adults, seniors, students, youths, casual and competitive bowlers.

A Sports Bar This will be designed for customer comfort with a number of activities to attract and retain customers. The lounge should feature a number of television sets with cable access to sport networks, NTL (electronic trivia competition), electronic darts, adult video games and coin operated billiard tables. The positioning of the Sports Lounge, which should be adjacent to the food service area, can provide quick service to lounge patrons and assist in controlling payroll expense by having one person service both areas during slow business periods. Food selections will feature finger foods, high quality sandwiches and pizza. Previous market research has proven that these selections are what bowlers want and expect, and the center should maintain them on the premises for their food requirements.

The Snack Bar This service will be located next to the lounge, which will assist in maximizing customer service and payroll productivity. A menu limited to finger foods, pizza and sandwiches will provide the opportunity to emphasize quality products and control. By limiting selections, we will benefit by improved inventory control, easier employee training, minimal waste and still satisfy customer needs.
