Bowling: A Wise Investment
US Bowling Corporation, An even wiser investment

Why is bowling such a wise investment?

Bowling: More participants than any other sport

Bowling is the #1 participatory sport in the world.  Yes, that’s right, more people play the game of bowling than any other sport in the world, making it a Key Anchor attraction that will attract more people than any other recreational activity.  With the combination of competitive bowling with recreation and entertainment, bowling has become a year round investment with global sales of over $10 billion dollars.

 

Bowling: Strong Cash Flow

There are many different revenue streams under one roof when operating a family entertainment center or bowling lounge.  While new center development demands a substantial capital investment, the low inventory requirements coupled with the strong cash flow and near zero receivables makes for a real positive return on investment.

Building the right type of center for you

Boutique/ Bowling Lounges – US Bowling is no doubt the world leader when it comes to building new upscale Bowling Lounges and Boutique centers.  US Bowling working alongside with Lucky Strike Entertainment, has helped design and build more than 20+ Lucky Strike boutique bowling centers and still growing.  With US Bowling’s innovative ideas and first class equipment, Lucky Strike has some of the highest revenue generating centers in the world.  Boutique bowling is based on upscale entertainment and set in a contemporary social atmosphere with fine food and drinks. These venues are ideal for hosting corporate events, Bar Mitzvah and upscale parties.    These centers truly generate more revenue with higher returns.

 

Family Entertainment Facilities (FEC’s) – are generally themed facilities with multiple revenue generators and bowling being just one of the many.  Unlike traditional bowling centers where as much as 80% of the centers revenue comes from bowling, a properly designed and operated FEC will earn less than 50% of its overall revenue from bowling.  This means the center will be built with several other strong revenue areas such as redemption gaming, mini-bowling, laser tag, bumper cars, private party rooms as well as strong food and bar service.  Sanctioned or Fun Leagues may be placed on nights that are not considered “go out nights”  generally Monday to Wednesday. 

 

Hybrid Centers – The newest of concepts combine the best of both worlds (FEC’s and Boutique Centers).  These centers are designed to allow you to hold upscale events in the boutique section of the center while open to the families and leagues in the FEC portion.  The Hybrid concept can also be a combination of bowling lanes along with movie theaters.  The food and bar service are enhanced to accommodate any occasion.
