Downtown bowling alley Bosco Lanes will be ceasing operations tomorrow. The alley operates within the Bosco Center, located at 80 South Sixth Street, and opened up approximately a year ago.

“I’m truly saddened to announce that tonight will be the last night of operations of Bosco Lanes,” said Alex Emrich, son of Bosco Center COO Randy Emrich, in a Facebook post published today. “Due to some extremely shady circumstances, we are forced out.”

Emrich doesn’t go into specifics about the exact reason for closure, but claims that “threats have been made”, so the decision to close of the bowling alley has been made.

“This eviction notice was a complete surprise for us,” said Emrich. “We’ve worked hard over the past year to renovate The Bosco building and bring entertainment Downtown. Last month was our best month ever and we have many bands, private parties and birthdays booked.”

While the bowling alley will close, other businesses within The Bosco Center will remain open, including a flower shop, hair salon and event center. The center is also home to several apartment units, and leasable office spaces for small businesses. Calls to the Bosco Center during business hours today all went to voicemail.

“Even if it reopens, it will never have the same vibe again,” stated Emrich. “Thanks to everyone who has helped support us along the way. Everyone, well almost everyone involved in this adventure has been absolutely amazing.”
