EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

L&M Lanes presents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-known bowling and entertainment venue in Rochester that is currently closed and awaiting the right entrepreneur to re-introduce it to the market. This property offers a strong foundation, established name recognition, and a flexible layout that is perfectly suited for revitalization.
The facility features:
• 12 bowling lanes total — 6 on the first floor and 6 on the second floor
• Full bar area with significant capacity
• Commercial kitchen suitable for pub fare, casual dining, or a refreshed food concept
• Multi-level layout ideal for events, leagues, and private parties
This is an ideal opportunity for an owner-operator or investor looking to put their own stamp on a proven entertainment concept rather than inherit someone else’s operating model.
