I’m sharing this story because it’s not just about a bowling alley—it’s about family, struggle, and resilience. Southland Lanes has been woven into the fabric of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s where I grew up, where I learned about hard work and commitment, and where I faced some of my toughest challenges.
When my great-grandfather’s company started Southland Lanes in 1959, he couldn’t have imagined the journey it would take us on. Growing up, I watched as my family poured their hearts into making it the best place for Lexington families to come together. But it wasn’t always easy, and there were times when keeping this place running seemed almost impossible.

There were late nights and long days, especially during the ‘90s and 2000s when bowling centers had to adapt to survive. We introduced music, lights, and events to stay relevant, but adapting to constant changes brought challenges of its own.
The biggest blow came in 2020 when the pandemic hit, forcing us to close our doors. Months without income took a toll—not just financially, but emotionally. I remember nights lying awake, terrified that this business, which had survived for decades, might come to an end on my watch. Losing Southland Lanes would have felt like losing a piece of my family, my history, and myself.
But we pushed through. Reopening came with its own challenges, but slowly, things turned around. What helped me through those dark days was the sense of purpose that Southland Lanes brings—not just to me, but to our community. This place isn’t just a business; it’s a gathering spot, a local treasure that means so much to so many.
Now, as we look to the future, a new generation of family is stepping up. My kids are beginning to understand the business, and watching them carry on this legacy fills me with a deep sense of pride and fulfillment. It’s no longer just about surviving but thriving, for today and for tomorrow. We’re dedicated to keeping Southland Lanes a place where families, friends, and neighbors can come together and where the legacy of those who came before us lives on.
