Iconic Candlepin Bowling Alley - A Community Treasure! Archie's Strike & Spare
Here's your chance to own a piece of history with this beloved candlepin bowling alley that has been a staple of the Kezar Falls community for decades. The business has recently expanded its liquor license, doubling the servable area, and now features an exciting new outdoor space designed for food, drinks, and events—quickly becoming the most valuable part of the business. The outdoor bar includes a 3-bay kegerator, a refrigerator for drinks, and a soon-to-be-installed pass-through window for food service. This space is already being used to host live music, a summer and fall concert series, bike nights, and the upcoming dog-friendly 'Pups & Pints' event. Plans are also in place to make it a winter hot spot for snowmobilers.
Known for its welcoming atmosphere and versatile entertainment options, this turnkey business is ready for its next chapter.
