Hello everyone,
I'm just taking a little time out to write this on the shop page letting you all know that Fox Valley Pro Shop will be shutting down. Given the uncertainty of my health, my inability to be on my feet and active for long periods of time and the time in which the shop is closed- it's not fair for the amazing bowlers in the area to continue like this. The pro shop WILL remain at Rolling Thunder Lanes, I however, will no longer be involved. Kent Jacobsen has indicated interest in still being active in the community there, but I cannot speak for the shop dynamic moving forward.
First, I would like to thank Jack, Bill, and Jeremy as owner GM and manager of Rolling thunder- giving me a chance to open and devolp a pro shop/ community there. Erik, for keeping the shop open and keeping Wisconsin bowling alive and well through that particular sale at Rolling Thunder. I want to thank the staff at Rolling Thunder for bridging the gap between bowler and shop. I would like to thank my friends and family- specifically my girlfriends, for support and understanding both at the onset of opening the ship and now through my health decline. I would like to thank Bowlero Corp. for being just a garbage whirlwind that helped me so much by kicking Kent and I out and pushing bowlers and leagues over to better/privately owned centers.
Full disclosure, I'll probably shut this page down in about a week.
From the bottom of my semi-useless heart, thank you all!
-Ben
