On behalf of the entire staff at Bowl-ero Lanes, we would like to introduce ourselves and invite you to consider spending the 2009 bowling season with us. As new owners we are pleased to be here and look forward to meeting and working with you.

We acquired Bowl-ero Lanes on September 15, 2006. We appreciate the rich tradition and history of this bowling center and we intend to build on that legacy. We are also well aware of the problems of the past and the things we need to do to take Bowl-ero Lanes to an entirely new level.

As we move into the 2009 bowling season, we continue to "raise the bar" on our commitment toward customer service, cleanliness, maintenance and marketing. Our "standard" is nothing short of excellence.
