Bowling Insights
Improving the guest experience and increasing loyalty
Our Insights
The bowling industry has changed rapidly over the last six years as more people turn to casual games instead of leagues. The result is that there are now two types of centers: traditional standalone centers or an establishment with additional attractions such as restaurants and bars, laser tag, and arcades.
The expansion of larger multi-attraction facilities has created a threat to smaller local centers that cannot keep up with customer loyalty. To stay relevant today, it’s time you find new growth strategies, and we’ve compiled insight into shifts in consumer behavior so your journey goes as smoothly as possible.
