Financial report summary
?Management Discussion
- All seventeen of the Company’s bowling centers were closed on March 18, 2020, by government order due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Only our three Florida centers were open the entire 13 week period ended September 27, 2020, having reopened in late May 2020. Thirteen of the remaining locations opened in July 2020 and the last center reopened on August 31, 2020. All locations were mandated at 50% capacity or less during the quarter. While the bowling business is seasonal and the first or “summer” quarter is typically the slowest, the pandemic was the primary negative factor on revenues. All comparisons in this discussion are significantly impacted by the ongoing government mandates and public perception of the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic.
