[OMS_MANAGERS] Popup or mobile activities (bowling, arcade...)

[Chantal Ivenso]

Hi All,

Multiple survey responses, especially from highschoolers, across Wallowa County have asked for a bowling alley or arcade in the area. We don't seem to be getting a business like that again anytime soon (the last bowling alley is now a local hardware store), so I thought popup alleys and arcades could work. Google search revealed some entrepreneurs on the other side of the country that run mobile (https://www.npr.org/2020/12/12/945023514/detroit-area-entrepreneur-launches-bowling-alley-on-wheels-during-the-pandemic) and portable/popup mini bowling alleys (https://portablebowling.com/) for rent.

Has anyone have experience setting up something like this in Oregon? I'm not sure if we want to rent or purchase, but I'm hoping to find some information to see if this idea is feasible. Any info is appreciated! Thank you!

Take care,
Chantal
