I previously did a thread about Queen Creek not having a bowling alley, so I think I should do a poll on which bowling center chain should come to Queen Creek. Note I included options that are currently in growth phases, so if any would come one of these would probably be the most likely (so this probably doesn't mean traditional bowling centers AMF or Brunswick Zone, but sister modern chain Bowlero).

I don't have an opinion myself, but I would like to see what others think.

Lucky Strike is an upscale urban phenomenon and about as appropriate for Queen Creek as a 40 story highrise.

LOL "Upscale Urban Phenomenon". It's no better than Main Event or Bowlero

Bowling isn't too ancient. There are still a few people on earth who may remember it.

There are still a few roller skating centers around as well, unless I heard incorrectly.


Uh-oh...


Guys, I'll be back later. I have a few letters and post cards to get out via air mail...

Note that much of Bowlero Corporation's growth is focused on the Bowlero brand to appeal to the current era of bowlers. Many AMF and Brunswick Zone centers are being upgraded into Bowlero centers.

Come to think of it, I would say if one were to come I would say Bowlero would be the most likely. Lucky Strike seems to prefer more urban areas, and Main Event seems to prefer locations near a freeway. Not too familiar with Bowl-America.

There's nothing upscale or urban about Lucky Strike. It's an overpriced bowling alley with a wide array of alcohol. That's it.

I know! I certainly wouldn't want to break a fingernail.

This was the hype when they opened at Cityscape. I guess it didn't turn out that way.

Usually, the words “upscale” and “bowling” go together as well as Mel Gibson and a cell phone. But no more. With its sleek atmosphere, multiple bars, DJ and gourmet menu, this bowling lounge is a highly anticipated addition to CityScape.
