Exactly what happened here. I’m not a big bowling fan and don’t go very often, but Bowlero bought up every spot in town and hiked up the prices. Shocked me last time I went and definitely turned me off the idea of going again.

You read and read and read and read and there’s no freaking point

Why do these authors think that we really want to read about the back stories of everybody?

I was lazy and asked gemini to do this.

Here are the key points of the article in bullet points:

• Bowlero, a private equity-backed bowling company, has been rapidly expanding by acquiring existing bowling centers.

• Bowlero’s focus is on entertainment rather than bowling, with features like loud music, expensive cocktails, and video games.

• Serious bowlers complain that Bowlero centers are poorly maintained and have raised prices significantly.

• Bowlero has faced accusations of ageist and racist hiring practices, with a federal investigation currently underway.

• Bowlero’s stock price has been boosted by investment personality Jim Cramer, but some analysts believe the company is overvalued.

• Independent bowling centers are worried that Bowlero’s expansion will threaten their existence.

• Professional bowler Parker Bohn III criticizes Bowlero for not caring about the sport of bowling.

All they want is the land.

Bowlero is crazy expensive. Smoke free and has okay food. A good experience for a kids party.

I prefer independent bowling alleys, but I am not actually there to bowl.
