401+ Bowling Alley Business Names to Keep Out of The Gutter

In college, my friends and I would often find ourselves at a now defunct bowling alley called Liberty Lanes. With $1 rail drinks, frozen pizza, and a pool table, it was the perfect hang out for college kids. A $20 bill in your pockets was literally all you needed for a night of entertainment. Did I mentioned there were nine lanes of bowling too?

The bowling industry continues to appeal to players of all ages and remains a $10 billion industry. Bowling continues to appeal to young and old with different variations of the game including traditional and even cosmic bowling (with music and lots of fluorescent lighting). You can even stick on some guard rails so the little ones can experience the game.

If you’re thinking of opening a bowling alley business, I’ve compiled an enormous list of business names you can use. Don’t let a poor choice of names put you in the gutter of business ventures. So put on your big boy bowling shoes and let’s explore the options.

How much does it cost to open a bowling alley?

Construction and equipment holds the biggest expense when it comes to opening a bowling alley. Take for example Home Advisor reports, the delivery and installation of one lane of a bowling alley could cost around $45,000. Keep in mind this is only a for one lane inside your home.

Building a completely new bowling center, including the space, building, non-bowling, and bowling equipment can cost $90,000 to $110,000 per lane when you factor in land, equipment, scoring, seating, and other non-bowling equipment. If you’re considering a location with 10 or more lanes, you’ll be talking about an investment well over $1 million. Some of the larger bowling alleys have as many as 32 – 40 lanes in them. If you want to build a large bowling alley, be prepared to raise a $3 – $5 million.

You also need to consider how ambitious you want to be with the bowling alley. Many of the modern bowling alleys have a bar, restaurant, and video games inside the same entertainment center. If you want to open one of these style bowling alleys, the startup costs will be significantly higher than what I’ve mentioned here.

How do you manage a bowling alley

Owning a bowling alley goes beyond just opening a location and letting customers roll balls down a lane. Management is what will make your break the business venture. To help you with that, here are some tips on managing a bowling alley.

1. Keep it clean and updated – Make sure the bowling alley is kept clean and tidy. Do renovations if it is outdated by applying fresh paint, updating the designs, and other fixtures that need fixing.
2. Hire staff with personality – It is highly important that you get staff who knows how to treat your customers well to ensure that they have the best experience while in your bowling alley. Hire people with a friendly personality.
3. Develop a marketing plan – Use a multi-media approach to market your bowling alley both in digital and in non-digital ads like flyers and newspapers. Reach out to the existing bowling leagues in your community and make sure they know about you. Add entertainment like music, video games, and food to appeal to a wider audience.
4. Gives discounts – One way to keep customers coming is by giving discounts to frequent visitors or age groups. How about giving discounts to seniors?
5. Schedule weekly events – Host different types of events that would cater to a variety of age groups such as after-school kids bowling time or seniors’ night bowling extravaganza.
6. Offer food and drinks – Providing food and drinks will add more appeal to your customers so they don’t have to go out and order from other establishments. This also makes it more convenient for customers who have a sudden craving to order pizza or burger during their game.
