Gerlach's Bowling Center

Gerlach's Bowling Center We are an eighteen lane bowling center that accommodates the whole family for open bowling or league
(636)

Although our location was built after Bill & Jack Gerlach returned from World War II; however, we say that Gerlach's Bowling Center opened in 1919. The original 4 bowling lanes in Lapeer opened in 1919 above the current Oddfellows building and Bill & Jack worked there before they left for the war. Even though our name was Lapeer Recreation until the late 1980s everyone refer to us as Gerlach's, so

a name change to reduce confusion made sense. When Bill Gerlach's son, Daniel and his wife Vicki, started to take ownership the place really started to change and became a more modern family atmosphere. We are constantly renovating and keeping up with some of the greatest new features in the business. Gerlach's Bowling Center has features for every type of bowler. Our features include: automatic scoring & pinsetters, brand new synthetic lanes and approaches, automatic bumpers (for smaller bowlers), rental shoes sizes toddler size 6 to a mens 20, a bowling pro shop with an extensive inventory, a grill (snack bar), and a bar with a large assortment of bottled beers.

We want to thank everyone that came out on Friday to bowl in the Dan Gerlach Memorial Scotch Doubles. Everyone had a great time and we are already discussing having another event this summer (probably early August). During the big squad we did a 50/50 and nearly $300 was raised/donated, and that money will go to charity(ies) in Dan's honor.

Our top six teams are getting some celebratory money. A complete list of results will be posted in the comments.

1st - Jodi & Dan Conley (932) $135
2nd - Tracy & Dave Cameron (897) $110
3rd - Brandi Kirback & KC Stone (889) $90
4th - Lisa Aubert & Charlie Gass (881) $70
5th - Bethanie Ritzman & Derrick Lugg (878) $50
6th - Jodi Conley & Jim Slater (866) $30

This is Hunter and he recently joined our team. He also would like to do some coaching while he is home from college. If you are looking to spend a little time getting some pointers from a young well accomplished bowler, reach out to him.

Thank you for the appreciation post Regina.

We value our special needs bowlers just as much as some of our other programs (adults, seniors, and youth). We have been having groups coming bowling with us for a very long time. Groups such as CMH, Growth & Opportunity, Teamwork, Life Skills, Stepping Stones, and group homes from as far as Vassar and Capac.

We know these bowlers are ecstatic to come bowling and it is the highlight of their week. Those amazing desserts are usually brought in from the Smoke family from the North Branch bakery.
