Thunderbird Lanes

37 of the best things to eat in Michigan right now Plus one thing we won't ever eat again.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Bowlers & patrons throughout T-Bird's 56 year lifetime!!! As an employee, I speak for my
co-workers and employees before me, to say we greatly appreciate your business over the years!!! Countless bonds & families were formed here and will hopefully continue for many years to come.
Sadly no more will be added to the list at Thunderbird Lanes, as it closed it's doors indefinitely on May 17, 2015.
Why, you ask? Bluntly, lack of funds. The facility is in need of many repairs and the expenses have been outweighing the generated income. Sad, but we've all seen this happen to many businesses in recent years.
League bowlers: Your officers will be in touch with you regarding possible new homes for you, if they haven't already. With it being summertime, it is a work in progress to sort things out and contact centers. If you were a house league, I have taken responsibility for you and am working on placing you at another center. Once I have details I will contact you with them.
This page will be kept active for some time, please feel free to share stories, comments, etc for the staff & bowlers to see!
Good luck to you all and again THANKS!!!
Sincerely,
Liz
