Time Table
|
The grand opening of your bowling center could be much sooner than you think!!
Depending on the nature of your business plan and how quickly you develop
it, you could be listening to the exciting sound of balls striking pins in
as few as twelve months. A bowling center isn’t a
stadium or a sports arena with a yearlong construction schedule.
For example, once the basic
building is complete and lane area is ready for installation of the
equipment, BSI can install the equipment at the rate of one and a half to
two days per lane. That translates to about four weeks for an entire 20 lane
center to go from floor, lane surface, scoring and seating to a fully
operational bowling.
