About El Campo Bowling Center

This center is the first of its kind, in that it was built and purchased by many investors in the community and is debt free. This project started in January of 2000. The city of El Campo hosted a public forum to voice their opinions, on what they would like to see happen in the next 20 years in the city. One response that the Chamber decided to make a reality was more family oriented, indoor spots for fun. When the El Campo Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture had it's annual board of directors retreat they decided to pursue the idea of a state-of-the-art bowling center.

In efforts to make the request a reality the Chamber had public meetings for everyone who was interested in seeing this project become a reality. Once the Chamber saw how many were interested, they formed a committee to go out and seek investors. The goal was to fund this project debt free. A share of stock was $5,000.00. You could invest in as many shares as you wished. The committee started gathering the investors and knowledge of what type of center would best fit El Campo. Within 6 months the financial goal of raising 1,000,000.00 was reach and the project was moved forward.
