Description

This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a long-established bowling alley and gaming center located in Central Illinois, owned and operated by the same individual for over 30 years. The business currently operates minimally, only about 25 hours per week, offering immediate and substantial revenue upside potential by increasing operating hours and maximizing poker machine revenue. The facility is well-maintained, featuring lanes in outstanding condition and a brand new $25,000 roof. Crucially, this sale includes the real estate (the building), providing a significant asset base separate from the business goodwill. The current owner is retiring. This business is ideal for an owner-operator looking for a turnkey operation with clear paths to increased profitability.
