What makes a Pro Shop Great? 

 

Ken and I have been doing a little traveling in different States. We went into several Bowling Centers and Pro Shops. We went into 5 shops; this is what we did see. 

 

-We were never greeted when we walked into the shops 

-Totally blown away by how dirty the shops were 

-The merchandise was not priced or labeled correctly 

-The bowling balls, bags, shoes were last years inventory 

-3of 5 shops opened 25minutes to 45minutes late (after posted work hrs) 

 

The bottom line is several bowling pro shops are ran by bowlers not business people. I’m not saying there are not great people (pro shop owners/bowlers) in this industry but 50% of them (Pro shop owners/Bowlers) don’t care or don’t have a clue to what they are doing!!
