A message from Bowl America Glen Burnie.
As I am sure most of you have already heard, it was announced this morning in a press release that the Bowlero Corporation is in the process of purchasing the 17 current Bowl America Centers in Maryland, Virginia, and Florida.
I know the Facebook chats have been going crazy with questions, speculation, and lots of other gossip - so I wanted to get the facts (as they are today) out as soon as possible.
I personally had been asked about this many, many times during the recent weeks. I was not aware of this at all, nor would I have expected to be told about this beforehand. There are laws against discussing the sale/merger of 2 publicly owned companies- to prohibit insider trading! Remember Martha Stewart!
I was as surprised as most of you were. We were instructed to continue doing business as we currently are, and that is exactly what I plan to do.
What does this mean to our customers? Our summer leagues will continue to come up and, along with our open play customers, will continue to bowl, compete and have fun. Tournaments will continue, special activities will continue, and Winter leagues will go on as planned. There should be little to no disruption to business.
No one really knows what will transpire over the next 6-12 months, so I will not even begin to speculate. But I will tell you what I hope, and truly believe, will happen to Bowl America Glen Burnie. I believe it will get the building and equipment enhancements that have been needed for some time. I believe it will grow and become one of the best bowling centers in the area. AND I believe the great customers that have hung in there with us through the years will get the bowling center they long for and deserve!
I love this Center, I love the employees, and I love the customers that bowl here. I have said this from day one, and I will do whatever I can do to see it succeed. If you have any questions or concerns, please stop by and talk to me. If I do not know the answer, I will check it out and get back to you.
Thank you to my dedicated staff for all you do and a huge thanks to our customers who make this center such a great place to be!
