1.3 Keys to Success
Three keys to success are the key ingredients of Kiln Creek’s Bowling Center.
-
- Location. The center will be strategically positioned to maximize the profits of the modern day bowler. The center will be located on Commonwealth Drive, York County, near the Regal 14 Cineplex. The center is located a half-mile from I-64 exit 265, in Kiln Creek Shopping Complex. It includes Super K Department Store and Kroger, Farm Fresh, a 14-screen Regal Cinema, a ice rink, six restaurants of national importance, two banks, 35 other businesses and a Wal-Mart/Sam’’s Club.

The National Bowling Council study outlines the demographics needed for a successful bowling centre.

- Low Overhead Cost. Kiln Creek Lane’s management will keep overhead cost at a minimum. Charles Collins Jr. is the project manager of the new center. This will reduce construction costs by approximately 15%. His vast experience in running bowling centers, along with his education as an Industrial Engineer, help him to streamline operations and reduce unnecessary expenses. By hiring the best staff in the field, many of his key employees can perform multiple tasks. The center will boast the most energy efficient equipment available in the area.
- Wide Range of Services. Kiln Creek Bowling Center will offer entertainment not only through bowling but also with a full-service restaurant/nightclub and billiards/darts, arcades, snack bar and apparel/pro shop. This diversity will bring in more customers and provide them more ways to enjoy themselves and spend their discretionary income.
