Question
I would like to know which be the best way to go about starting a pro shop?
I would attend either the IBPSIA training or the KEGEL training available for pro shop operators. I would also research the area you are going to operate the pro shop in. You need to know the bowler numbers and price structure in your area. It is best to be in a bowling center so you have walk in traffic, but there are successfull free standing shops. Will this be fulltime or part time? Will you have other employees or just you?
Good luck,
Chip
