I work for the Greater Houston United States Bowling Congress in Mid Town/Downtown Houston. I received calls everyday from companies looking for a center with a party venue but mostly wanting a place in downtown. Trust me when I say that I think this center will thrive and be completely successful.

I have been to the Lucky Strikes in Denver and Louisville, they are awesome and the food is amazing! I can’t wait until it opens!

I don’t think it will make it. When I was younger, it was all high school and middle school kids. Where are they going to get their customers now?

I gotta admit, pulling this off profitably would be quite a feat. Cool concept, but still a stretch. That place is in an interesting spot. There’s quite a bit of affluence around there, in addition to a complete transformation of the surrounding commercial landscape in progress. With that amount of money going into this project, the principals had to have done a significant amount of market study. I think it’s a very interesting project.

How can they stay in business with those kind of overhead, food, and labor costs? Sure looks like the margins on any bowling alley I’ve ever seen are pretty slim.

Wow. Those Bunker Hill lanes were an ultra dump. What a transformation!
