About The Bowling Store
The Bowling Store was founded in 2007 by Matt, Michaela Tomsu, and partners. Matt wanted to take his love for bowling and the knowledge he had gained as a pro shop technician to start his own business. His mission was to help bowlers become better and enjoy the game more by providing advice, instruction, and the best-fitting equipment available at competitive prices.
​
In 2008, The Bowling Store moved to its current location in Mockingbird Lanes. This move allowed for more hands-on work with customers by allowing Matt and the staff to make equipment suggestions based on actual viewing of customers' games.
​
A remodel of the pro shop took place in the summer of 2022. It not only provided a fresh look for customers but expanded the drill room to accommodate the growing volume of business.
