FAQ
What size building will I need to build or lease?
You will need about 1,000 to 1200 square foot for each lane. A 20 lane center will require 20,000 to 24,000 square feet. The actual size will vary depending upon the kind of other services you will provide. For example, restaurant food service area, cocktail lounge area, meeting rooms, game rooms, etc.

What is the average population needed to build a bowling center?
We like to recommend 1,500 to 2,000 people per lane. This means a 10 lane center would require a minimum population of 15,000 people. A 40 lane center would require a minimum of 60,000 people.
