🎉 Teammate Tuesday! 🎉
This week we’re celebrating someone who keeps Spare Time rolling in every sense of the word, Joey!
Joey is our incredible Lanes Mechanic & Facility Manager, and he’s the reason our lanes run smoothly, our machines stay happy, and our guests get that perfect strike moment. He’s been with us for 10 years, but his story goes even deeper! He worked here before Spare Time took over, back when it was Gate City Lanes. He spent 2 years with Gate City, stayed through the transition, and has now been in the bowling industry for over 20 years. That’s legendary status.
When it comes to Spare Time favorites, Joey keeps it classic with chicken tenders, and his favorite arcade game is Jumpin’ Jackpot, which also happens to be the first game he ever fixed.
His favorite part of working here? His coworkers, of course. The team is his family, and he brings that same loyalty and dedication right back to them.
If Joey had a yearbook quote, it would be: “Work hard, play harder.” And honestly that fits him perfectly.
Outside of work, Joey enjoys golfing, cheering at Gargoyle games, and diving into DIY projects, because even on his days off, he’s still building, fixing, and creating.
Joey, thank you for your years of hard work, your expertise, and your commitment to keeping Spare Time running at its best. We appreciate you more than you know. 💙🎳
