Bowl for One Cent This Weekend at Lucky Strike Locations

Bowlero, the country’s biggest bowling operator, is offering the deal on Sunday

Bowling is the most popular participation sport in the United States. Yes, deep into our twenty-first century, handheld, streaming, AI world, more Americans roll a heavy ball at ten pins than engage in football, baseball, or soccer. The United States Bowling Congress reports that sixty-seven million of us take to the lanes each year, and it’s been that way for generations. Bowling is a $10 billion industry because most people actually play the game rather than watch others do it.

Bowling attracts men and women, young and old, rich and poor. It’s the great equalizer and has the widest possible range of players. For several years now, Virginia -based Lucky Strike Entertainment has consolidated and upscaled the bowling industry by acquiring AMF, Brunswick, Lucky Strike bringing much of the business under their umbrella.

With the announcement of the end of penny production by the U.S. Mint after 230 years, Lucky Strike is hosting a Penny Retirement Party across all of its locations on Sunday, January 25^th. Lucky Strike is offering a buy-two-get-one-for-a-penny deal as well as a one-cent ICEE with an Unlimited Attractions Pass at their fun parks, which include Castle Park in the Inland Empire and Boomers mini golf courses.

“With the U.S. Mint retiring the penny this year, we saw an opportunity to create a nationwide initiative that puts these coins to good use while bringing people together,” says Lucky Strike’s Katie Warner. “The Penny Retirement Party is our way of bringing guests a simple deal coupled with a fun experience that honors the currency’s longstanding presence in American history.”
