The work continues. . .
Now that our lanes and the bar are up running, work has begun on other areas.
The murals surrounding the lanes are almost completed. We are also prepping the kitchen area for the installation of the work stations, sinks, stoves, grills, and refrigerators, and will soon begin work on the meeting room.
Time-Warner is due to wire the center soon, so we can get our televisions and other electronics online. We are finding that scheduling such services takes time, and “immediately” is not in some vendors’ vocabulary!
We continue to work on our packages for birthday parties, fundraisers, and special events, and plan to offer them as soon as the kitchen is operational. We have also begun finalizing our menu, recognizing, of course, that our kitchen staff, when hired, will have to have some input.
While bowlers are rolling their balls, much work continues behind the scenes. Soon you will have a state-of-the-art, full service bowling center.

Let's bowl!
The bowling center is up and running! We have been busy working out the "kinks," while hosting a full week of bowling leagues. Everything is going well and we look forward to the rest of the season.
Below is the news release we sent out on Tuesday.
CLASSIC LANES-MENOMONEE FALLS OPENS FOR BUSINESS!
Classic Lanes-Menomonee Falls is now open.
The new bowling center, N85W15900 Appleton Ave., Menomonee Falls, is located in the North Hills Plaza shopping center. The 24-lane facility will be open Sunday through Friday from 10 to 2 a.m., and Saturdays from 8 to 2 a.m.
Classic Lanes-Menomonee Falls is owned and operated by two well-known Wisconsin championship bowlers, Gary Daroszewski and Greg Kaiser. Daroszewski, who bowls competitively at a national level, currently owns and operates Classic Lanes, a bowling center in Greenfield, WI, and GD Bowling and Equipment. Kaiser, a former Wisconsin junior bowling champion, has been in the hospitality industry for more than 20 years, and also owns Custom Auto Interiors, Franklin, WI.
“The center offers league bowling, as well as bowling for individuals, families, youth, and seniors,” said co-owner Greg Kaiser. “We encourage area residents to turn off their televisions, cell phones, and computers, and join friends, families, and colleagues for an hour or two of affordable, all-American entertainment!”
In addition to the bowling lanes, the bar is up and running. Construction continues on the kitchen and restaurant, a meeting room, and a party area. “We expect construction to be completed in the next month or so, “Kaiser said. “Once everything is finished, packages will be available for birthday parties, fundraisers, and special events.”
Kaiser encourages area residents to visit Classic Lanes-Menomonee Falls, and view the progress that has been made since June. “We built this center from the ground up, and we have employed state-of- the-art technology in every way possible,” he said. “Our goal is to offer the ultimate entertainment experience.”

We are rapidly approaching the finish line!
We haven't posted in the past week, simply because we have been working 24/7 on completely millions of details at our bowling center! Our digital camera is also on the blink, which has prevented us from posting any photos. But we have made progress, and our facility actually looks like a bowling center!
Rest assured, the work is getting done, and we are confident we will be open for business Tuesday, Sept.8. We still have a lot of work to do, but the lanes will be operational--which was our goal. Of course, we expect a lot of opening day glitches, so bear with us as we introduce our kind of bowling to Menomonee Falls!
Although our kitchen is not yet open, we will have snacks and information available for visitors. So stop by!
Back to work!

The pressure is on. . .
This week, the race to the finish began!
Every worker at the bowling center has an assignment. We are finishing up the installation of gutters, pin setters, and ball returns. We will begin installing lanes this week.
The plasterers are completing the stucco work on the walls. Work continues on the floors. We are awaiting the arrival of supplies that will allow us to complete renovation of the restrooms.
Our bowling murals have begun to take shape, and we are eagerly anticipating their completion. The murals are not silk-screened wallpaper. They are being created freehand by a local artist.
Work has begun in the bar area. In addition to painting and general clean up, we are awaiting the installation of bar equipment, such as soda guns and beer taps. Vendors are scheduled to complete that work this week, and then we can start building our inventory. In addition, we have begun recovering the bar stools.
Once the kitchen is installed, we plan to serve food next to the lanes, and in the bar area, where tables and stools will be available. Meanwhile, we have begun to finalize our menu. Right now, we are considering pizza, sandwiches, and some appetizers.
We are also finalizing packages for parties, special events, and fundraisers. In addition, the party supplies bearing our logo have begun to arrive, including balloons and temporary tattoos.
So the pressure is on, and once again we find ourselves needing 32 hours in every day. Sleep will have to wait until after our Labor Day opening! YAAAWWWN!

It's beginning to look like a bowling center!
This week, we made real progress!
The foundation for the lanes has been completed, and we have begun to install the pin setters, ball returns, gutters, and automatic scoring machines. The lanes will be placed after that work has been completed, hopefully sometime next week.
Meanwhile, pins, balls, and shoes have been ordered, and should arrive shortly. Once everything has been installed, we will begin testing the lanes and equipment with live bowlers to ensure everything works!
At every turn, we are employing new technology. Black lighting has been installed in the ceiling over the lanes, and will reflect off of a wide variety of glow fixtures. The Internet jukebox is a computer that accesses a website after a song has been selected. (We kind of miss the old style jukebox, but they are hard to maintain.)
Our bar area is extremely large, but thankfully little work will be required to get it up and running. The bar and rails are intact, so after a major cleaning and some painting, all that will be required is restocking of inventory and the recovering of 40 stools.
Two events highlighted our week. First, we began meeting with league secretaries, who got a chance to see our progress and ask questions about our operations. We are still signing up leagues, and we always have room for more! Contact Scott at 262.255.BOWL.
Second, we met with a reporter from the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. Given the economy, he was a little surprised at the scope of project we have undertaken. But even when the economy stinks, people need affordable entertainment! The interview is scheduled to appear in the business section of that publication sometime in the next few weeks. Watch for it!
While the work on the lanes is almost completed, we still have much work to do in other areas of the facility. Our restrooms are awaiting final installation of plumbing fixtures and flooring, and our meeting room requires some work. As I mentioned earlier, we expect our kitchen to be operational sometime this fall.
But our priority has always been to get the lanes up and running for our leagues. Once that is done, we can work at a (somewhat) more leisurely pace to complete the rest of the renovation. Soon Classic Lanes-Menomonee Falls will be the “go to” place not only for league bowling, but also for birthday parties, fundraisers, special events, and more!
