Hey Pro Shop Owners,

Just curious. I know many of you are from different parts of the U.S. and some of you may be operating outside of the U.S.

Depending on what market/geographic region you are in, would you say $100,000 could be made in a year?
This is in total sales, not profit alone.

What about $200K, 300K, 400K, so on.

I am just curious. I am not asking you to tell the whole world how much you make, but would like to know where you are located and how close a shop might be to those type of numbers. Is your neighboring competition doing any better/worse?

I could understand huge bowling regions like the Detroit area, Vegas, etc. (fill in your region here), but with internet ball sales (& other factors) it could be tough.

Please chime in, would love to hear your thoughts!
Regards,
Ram

Hey Nick,

Thanks for your input bud. I know you're in Los Angeles County, so I'm sure business should be good with the # of bowling alleys that are out there.

So in So Cal, you think $200K, would be pushing it eh?

I always wondered how much the shops made up here in Northern Calif.

I think I'm going to do a google search to see what are the biggest bowling towns/counties/states in the U.S.

This past February I passed by K&K Bowling Supplies in Las Vegas. They seem to own a big percentage of the Vegas bowling market even with all the Pro Shop competition in the local alleys in the city of sin.

Thanks,
Ram

I'd be willing to bet the pro shop in Edmond OK does way over $200,000 a year and quite possibly over $300,000 a year. That shop has customers in there from start time to quit time, 6 days a week, 52 weeks a year. There is no slack season in that shop as they are as busy during the summer season as they are the winter season.
