2008 BPAA's "GOLDEN
PIN"
Award Winners
In
August of 1961 my parents, Peter and Rosalie Scimone
opened Roseland Lanes in Oakwood Village, Ohio
(see map).
This land, once
a farm, was built over the years by Pete, into
a 50 lane family recreation center. During
these many years of business the Scimone philosophy
has remained the same: to treat our customers
so they are "only a stranger but once."
This means a friendly welcome, prompt and courteous
service, a clean atmosphere and quality equipment
for which we are proud.
This philosophy
has been our trademark to our loyal league bowlers
as well as to our many spectators and open bowlers.
Even in retirement, all business operations and
promotions, are overseen by the watchful
eye of my parents. With the help of their
family they boast that their center provides the
most consistent quality service for the price
anywhere.
All additions
and remodeling was done by my dad Pete over the
40 + years. He named the bowling center
after our mom, Rosalie. The Snack
Bar, “Pete’s Café & Grille”
and the Pizzeria, “Papa Pete’s Pizza”
and the Lounge, “Pete’
Pub” was named after Pete for his
love for food and his talented craftsmanship.
What a legend over the years!
Throughout the
years my dad also worked for Brunswick Corporation
while operating and maintaining his own
centers. In the early 60's to the late 80's,
he would install lanes & machines for existing
centers as well as new centers in Ohio and the NE
region. During this time, he also owned 2
other centers, Roseland Lanes 2 in Streetsboro,
Ohio and Roseland Lanes 3 in Ravenna, Ohio.
Their love for the sport and generating new and
old customers and friends continues on to this
day. Being in their 80's, they are as eager
to operate, maintain and promote the sport of
bowling.
Pete &
Rose were selected as the recipient of the 2008
Golden Pin Award for Center Administration. This
prestigious recognition was bestowed upon them by
their peers and the Bowling Proprietors'
Association of America.
