Morning all.
I am sure most of you heard the news about a couple bowling industry businesses.
Sounds like Landmark Lanes is closing in September. I do not know what that entails for their bowlers' options for leagues and pro shop services. I believe Minier Lanes has extended an invitation to their bowlers to join leagues there. If those bowlers are unable to get pro shop services locally, we would like to invite them to come see us.
The biggest heartbreak for us is the news from The Perfect Angle PRO SHOP. Most of you know that they have helped us out tremendously with in-person visits and online conversations in regards to the pro shop business and how to help our bowlers. We have always mentioned that we have considered them our mentor and cannot say thank you enough for their efforts. We are happy that they have opportunities presented to them to help make their transition easier.
We believe they are still working out the logistics of the shop and inventory. At the moment, we do not know what the plans are for their replacement and how soon they will be up and running. If their bowlers are looking for pro shop sales and services while they finalize everything, we invite them to give us a try. We will do our best to give you the same quality service you are accustomed to.
While we are at it, we want to say thank you to Minier Lanes for the work and effort to keep bowling alive in rural central Illinois. They have continued to make upgrades to the center and are looking for even better ones in the future. With us going into our third year, we hope to continue our partnership with them to provide bowlers the equipment and services to be successful at Minier Lanes and elsewhere.
We hope to see you all in the next few weeks out on the lanes and hopefully in the shop.
Hours will be coming soon.
Take care
