Come down to Willowbrook Lanes on Thursday, April 26, 2018 for our final official event before we close for good. We are offering a 2 for 1 bowling deal from 5-8pm with free snacks and refreshments, courtesy of Willowbrook Lanes and Hannam Supermarket.
Our last day of business as Willowbrook Lanes will be Sunday, April 29th. The building will remain standing, undergo some renovations, and will reopen as Hannam Supermarket at a later date.
We're officially closing the doors just a couple weeks short of one year after we were originally slated to close. Last year, we had planned to close our doors and say goodbye on May 14th, but a last-minute change of plans let us continue to operate under new ownership. We're so glad that we got to stay open for the community, even if it was just for a short time.
I'd like to thank not just the customers who stuck with us after Bob and Cheryl Randall sold the business last year, but anyone who has stopped by the lanes for fun during the 37 years the business has been open. We've seen so many memories made here over the years. I hope everyone remembers the time they've spent here as fondly as I remember my five years being a part of the Willowbrook Lanes family. We'll miss our regular bowlers terribly, and miss getting to chat with so many different people every day.
I'd also like to thank Bob and Cheryl Randall and Marieanne Manz for continuing to provide support whenever we have needed it over the past year. Thanks as well to the old staff members who stayed on. Ethyn, Mikaela, and Mariam stayed on and had to take on way more responsibility than they had previously had. Eileen (our other manager), Alicia, Janey, Aly, Kat, and Sabrina all joined us this year as well and have been absolutely amazing. We also absolutely wouldn't have been able to make it without the staff members who stayed with Bob and Cheryl to the end either. Dave, Heather, Robyn, Katelynn, Amy, Marisa, Megan, Brittany, and Carmelita.
Once again, we'd just like to thank everyone so much for all of the memories and for letting us be part of them.
