Less lanes equals more money?

How could less lanes (fewer bowlers, fewer games purchased, fewer shoe rentals) equate to more revenue?

As counterintuitive as it sounds, we recently spoke with two different proprietors who removed roughly a third of their lanes and both doubled their centers’ revenue in about two years.

Both are third or more generation proprietors, so bowling is very near and dear to them. Here’s what they had to say about making the decision.

• Kevin Capraosa, Family Bowlaway (3rd Generation)
• Brian Saunier, Paradise Island Bowl (5th Generation)
