bowling centers in NJ
« on: March 12, 2007, 01:00:34 PM »
What's happening to all the bowling centers in NJ, closing left and right, and where did the bowlers from these centers go to?

For example:  
Roosevelt lanes (CLOSED)
Garden State (CLOSED)
Belle Aire (CLOSED)
Parkway (CLOSED)
Strike and Spare (RUMORED TO BE CLOSING)
Carolier (RUMORED TO BE CLOSING)
thats over 200 LANES. And I may have missed some.
All these centers had VERY GOOD PRO SHOPS where did they go?

I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE AREA FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR AND I CAME BACK TO THIS!!!!!

Where did the rumor of Carolier closing come from?  Roosevelt closed because they were leasing the land and they were bought out for potential Condos.  I believe the same thing happened with Garden State.  These houses weren't in the best neighborhoods.  With the increasing prices of the industry today, I don't think you were going to find too many people going to these locations and spending a minimum of $4.00 a game for beat up, outdated equipment.

Why does everyone try to make it harder than it really is?  Overthinking makes the game that much more difficult.

The Pro Shop from Roosevelt moved over to Hudson Lanes, about 2 miles down the road.

That started 2+ years ago. It died more than a year ago.
The rumor was the high end was going to be sold in order to be made into another strip mall. I kind of doubt that Lee Livingston, the owner, woudl allow that to happen. In fact, I thought I had heard at one point (2 years ago) that he was considering ending the lease to Brunswick (they are leasing the property from him now.) and re-taking ownership of Carolier Lanes. It is now Brunswick Zone at Carolier. In any case, he didn't take it back. Brunswick is still running it.
