pro shop recognition - give props to those that deserve it
« on: January 23, 2011, 07:58:57 AM »
i just want to give props to DAN McLALIN the owner of Premier Bowlers Pro Shop in oak lanes, Westland MI.  he always answers all of my questions whenever i email him, or stop by. very reasonable prices and the bottom line is , he knows what he is doing.  i highly recommend his pro shop.  if you are in the metro Detroit area and need anything for bowling, dan will take care of you correctly and efficiently.

Wow, a customer that actually posted a positive comment about their local pro shop

 

It's amazing how many posters seem to think that every pro shop owner is making so much money that we have been driving around in a Ferrari.

 

I'm doing my business taxes this week. I save every receipt, for every purchase that I make for my pro shop. And I mean every nickel that I can deduct.

 

Most of you would laugh if you knew just how little a pro shop makes in profit; even a very good one with lots of clientel in a populated area.

 

I try to stay in business for this simple reason:

 

I love the SPORT. I get great satisfaction with helping others to learn the sport and improve their game.

 

Track Attack,  thanks for spreading the word about your local pro shop. It sounds  as though he cares for his customers.

My pro shop:
 
 
Bill Smith's AMS Bowling Supply
301 E. 23rd St.
Independence, MO
(816) 833-2695
 
 
Best pro shop in the metro Kansas City area.....bar none. I think he's UNDERCHARGING when it comes to drilling bowling balls that weren't purchased there but that's his business. He's great with new customers and even better with long time customers.

Scott Pohl of On Track Pro Shop at Cedarvale Lanes in Eagan MN.


I have been buying from Scott for 9 years now and I have absolutely zero complaints. He is a great guy and very knowledgeable about the sport. Will always answer any questions you may have. He will suggest something that's going to fit your need. He won't just try and sell you the most expensive ball just to make a sale. My business will always go to Scott.
