Full Service Bowling Alley w/24 lanes
Business Description
Full Service Bowling Center - The Only One in Niles
This established 24-lane bowling center represents a rare opportunity to own the sole bowling facility serving Niles and surrounding Berrien County. Operating since 2002, this turnkey entertainment destination has built a loyal customer base and proven revenue streams totaling $1.2 million annually.
BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS:
• Only bowling center in the market area - no direct competition
• 24 synthetic lanes with Qubica scoring systems
• Full commercial kitchen specializing in popular pizza offerings
• Bar and lounge area with pool tables
• Established league play providing consistent recurring revenue
• Multiple event hosting capabilities for parties, corporate functions, and fundraisers
• 17,500 square feet of owned real estate included in sale
• Strong cash flow of $350,000 (29% margin)
• FF&E valued at $1,000,000
REVENUE STREAMS:
• Open bowling and league play
• Food service with popular pizza kitchen
• Bar and beverage sales
• Birthday parties and special events
• Corporate and group bookings
• Fundraising events
GROWTH POTENTIAL:
Significant opportunity exists as the current owner has reduced involvement over the past two years due to approaching retirement. A hands-on operator could capitalize on underutilized capacity, expand marketing efforts, and potentially increase operating hours or special programming.
The business benefits from its monopoly position in the market, established customer relationships, and multiple revenue streams that provide stability and growth potential. With owned real estate and substantial FF&E included, this represents a complete turnkey operation for the right buyer.
