How much does it cost to build a 80 lane bowling alley?

Answer 1

In the United States the average cost of a Bowling alley built from concrete block with a steel roof deck and no basement is $119.75 per square foot. A 20,000 sq. ft. bowling alley would cost $2,395,000 to build.

Answer 2

$2,000,000.00

It's not as simple as you'd thinkI went to Brunswick's website for this because they have good numbers.

By the time they get to the end of it, you're looking at between $90,000 and $165,000 per lane for a bowling-only center, depending on about three million variables.

BTW, why only 10 lanes? Most centers do it in multiples of four.

Brunswick is the way to go if you want the best, all-new equipment. However, if you are okay with reconditioned pinsetter machines, you should check out Fusion Bowling.

Answer 3

The costs factored in starting a bowling center greatly vary depending on many factors, including:

• Is the property owned or leased?
• Is the building owned or leased?
• Is this new construction or remodel?
• What type of lanes used, wood or synthetic?
• What pinsetters are used, Brunswick or QubicaAMF or other?
• What electronic scoring system used?
• What back office software used?
• What ball returns and gutters are used?
• Automatic bumpers used and for how many lanes?
• Parts inventory?
• House ball inventory?
• House shoe inventory?
• Going to have a proshop?
• Going to have a bar/lounge?
• Going to have arestaurant?
• Going to have game redemption?
• Going to have pool tables, laser tag, Video Games, minigolf, etc?

Some things are fixed costs that do not matter if the center is 2 lanes or 100. And some are factored on number of lanes.

Answer 4

This is a question that can't be answered with a general "it'll cost two million dollars to build a bowling center" answer.

If you can find an old factory building that's big enough, that's in an area people will go to after dark, and that has a lot of parking, this would be the ideal thing. You could buy that, install all your equipment, and be in operation for less money and in less time than building a new structure.

If you need to build a new structure, things get a lot more complex. First, and most important, can you get enough land that's suitable for building a bowling center for a reasonable price? You will need at least 10 acres, and of that half has to be of a soil that is stable and has no shallow water under its surface.

Next, you need to decide what activities you're going to have in your center. We have a center in my town that has bowling, an indoor water park, outdoor attractions like mini-Golf and go-karts, and is attached to a hotel. (It's also on the road that leads to the biggest theme park in the Northwest.) Centers in places that allow gambling will offer casino gaming. A new bowling center that just has bowling shouldn't be built because people's tastes change. People will always like bowling but they don't want to only bowl, they want to do other things and you need to offer those things. If you have bowling AND theme park-style attractions you can capture both those dollars.

Answer 5

It will depend on the type of lane materials, pinsetters, ball returns and scoring system used.

Answer 6

The costs would vary depending on the size of the facility, types of lanes used, pin setters, scoring equipment, furniture, lockers, pro shop, office and other amenities.
