The Ciniello family (Pat, wife Lisa and son Marc) will continue to own and operate bowling centers in Ft. Myers (HeadPinz Ft Myers) and Naples (Beacon Bowl & HeadPinz Naples). The family will also look to grow its BowlMarc operation, which is in the amusement games & service robot businesses. “We are not going out of business, to the contrary, I’m very excited for our future opportunities,” Ciniello said.

Pat Ciniello has had a long-term friendship with Tom Shannon, founder & CEO of Bowlero. So, when the opportunity presented itself, the timing was right for Bowlero’s expansion into SW Florida and the Ciniello’s plans to sell-off part of their holdings.

“We will miss our bowlers and friends that we’ve made in Cape Coral over the past 38 years (Coral Lanes opened in 1985),” Ciniello stated “but I’m confident Bowlero will continue the growth of bowling there with its wide array of resources, including the National League Bowler Program and support from the Professional Bowlers Association.”

Bowlero Corp. owns more than 325 bowling centers across North America and serves more than 30 million guests annually.
