Former Western Bowl Listed with Cushman & Wakefield for $975,000
As most of know the AMF Western Bowl closed its doors at the end of January. What we don’t know is what will become of the property. Dorothy Kirner has mentioned in recent meetings 3 potential buyers to meet with the owner in June. I had heard from other sources the lanes were being ripped up. I wanted to find out for myself what was going on.

I spoke to workers from AMF that were removing the equipment from the building. All the seating, scoring tables and ball return equipment has already been removed.
The pin equipment is all being dismantled as well. AMF is gutting the structure of all bowling equipment with the exception of the wood lanes.
As you can see the wood lanes are split by the former runs of the ball return equipment.
Conveniently the listing agent, Joseph Porcelli, was on site and I was able to gather more information from him:
• Listed with Cushman & Wakefield of Missouri, 314-514-0600
• List price is $975,000
City property records indicate the property has 2.229 acres and the building was built in 1962 and has 34,301sf. I don’t have any more detail on the building at this point but clearly the owner is actively removing all the bowling equipment.
Public infrastructure such as this sewer cover and the sidewalks need to be addressed. I would like the opportunity to, as Alderman, work with buyers/developers to make this property an asset to the Ward.
