Title: What about proshops? Will they survive Coronavirus?
Post by: bcw1969 on April 12, 2020, 12:14:53 PM: I am wondering, even if our bowling centers are able to and do return to normal business at some point, will our proshops return with it? I would imagine that they are just like any other small business in America and are teetering on colapse because of the virus.

Some member on here are smart to build their own shops from their garage, very smart choice.

I agree. I hope Iâ€™m wrong, but I think this will hasten the closing of some bowling centers - and that will definitely hurt PSOs.

This.

If they applied for PPP or EIDL and looked at their numbers right, they may be able to get the funding and keep it under the $10,000 limit that they wouldn't have to pay anything over that $10K limit as a loan back with interest.
