Bowlero, the biggest bowling company in the world, has grown rapidly in recent years. Fueled by private equity groups, the firm’s expansion has ruined the beloved pastime for many while its executives pull in massive profits.
Another industry becoming enshitified. I really wish there was something we, the people, could do about this, because this really fucking sucks. Average people won’t care though, because shiny.
I Dunno man I think this is really one where just not going to bowlero would do the trick. Maybe it’s different because I’m in the midwest, but there are plenty of places way better and cheaper than bowlero and I think the local populous knows. Because the bowlero by me is only ever full if a company is doing an event there. Otherwise the general consensus is “wtf no I don’t want to go to the loud dark bowling alley with 9 dollar drinks and microwave wings”
Will what? I almost never go bowling anymore because it’s gotten so expensive. Didn’t even start with Bowlero, I don’t think. They were just another company that came in and made the affordable places more expensive.
If it weren’t for the bowling league IDK if the place would be all that busy.

But you will, because the rest will close eventually. It’s a long game. The mom and pops won’t survive forever.
