The Hopewell Bowling Center was built in 1955 by Michael Zevgolis and a group of investors. He owned and operated the center until his passing in 2012.
The center is still currently owned and operated by the Zevgolis family.
The bowling center originally opened with pin boys setting up the pins and returning the bowling balls to the bowlers. Shortly thereafter, bowling machines were installed and eventually eliminated pin boys.
In 1972, the original bowling machines were replaced with the current machines that are in the Bowling Center today. In 1996, Mike had automatic scoring installed.
The scoring system was the latest advancement in bowling scoring technology.
After the passing of Mike, there was an outpouring of support from the community, to keep the Bowling Center open.
In 2020 the Bowling Center was remodeled with new tables, chairs, flooring, a new air conditioning system, and more recently a new roof.
We also offer an extensive Snack Bar menu, Birthday Party packages, Open Bowling, Cosmic Bowling, and Leagues for all age groups.
Thank you for visiting our Website. We look forward to seeing you so as we celebrate our 70th year at The Hopewell Bowling Center.
Robert Zevgolis, Vice President
