Even More Apartments for Spanish Springs
 
Heard today the two bowling alleys are up for sale, we know where this is going. Lets see i use to swim at Hacienda CC every day, no more. I bowl every Wednesday, at risk, thank God the "Developer" did not build and own my church.

Bowling lanes all across US have been dying for a while. An owner once told you needed 2 full shifts bowling every night to break even and then you make money on the open bowling on weekends. The two places here have been slowly pricing everyone out of leagues. Don't see anyone buying these 2 places anytime soon.

Fiesta Bowl has 39 leagues and Spanish Springs has 42 leagues, at least those numbers are listed on leaguesecretary.com. At almost $5 per line of league bowling, and add the Food/Beverage income, I find it extremely unlikely that the owner of the centers will walk away any time soon.

Don't worry. Plenty of churches.
Their profit is a lot higher than bowling alleys and apartments!

I've "heard" that bowling is more popular with more participation in The Villages than golf. Anyone know if that is true?

In general - bowling is the #1 most populous participation sport in the world. There are more bowlers than there are anything else, with regards to sports.

must be the sense of fashion what draws them into the sport

La Hacienda Regional Rec Center has open pool for lap swimming. I showed pictures of it yesterday. Beautiful Rec Center...Just around the corner from where Hacienda Bar and Grill was. There are TWO facilities in that area both with the word Hacienda in them and people sometimes get them confused. I also hear the new apartments will have pool to share.

Well if they can monetize it with long term leases triple net and assess a royalty fee they will. Never say never !
I’d rather bowl than golf anyway !

Walking 9 holes will give you far more beneficial exercise than rolling a ball and drinking beer:icon_wink:

Yup, churches are a business and need to be taxed accordingly.
