Florissant's Crest Bowl Has a New Owner
Gary Shenberg has plans to update the lanes as well as bring in a new food option.
The Crest Bowl in Florissant has a new owner that has some nice plans for the bowling alley.
St. Charles resident Gary Shenberg, who also owns Kingpin Lanes, will be updating the lanes and equipment as well as Brickhouse Pizza Company, which he also owns.
“We’re excited to be operating the well-known Crest Bowling Lanes,” Shenberg said in a press release. “Crest has built its reputation on customer service and satisfaction, and we plan to continue to offer an enjoyable and entertaining bowling experience to people in Florissant and throughout North County.”
Shenberg, who formerly owned Fortel’s Pizza in Florissant, opened Brickhouse Pizza Company, which has pizzas that are prepared on dough that is made fresh daily and cooked in a special stone deck oven.
He said upgrades of the lanes will start in the next couple of weeks, and the pizza company will come in the next few months.
Customers will still be able to bowl and enjoy the atmosphere while the upgrades are made.

I just hope that Crest Bowl doesn't loose its home town bowling alley feeling. That puts its steps ahead of Weber Bowling alley. I had a birthday party at both Dick Weber lanes and Crest Bowling alley and with Weber being more expensive because he got a bowling pin signed by his guests but I was to have had someone from there help me out but he was to busy doing other things and stuff that the next time my son wanted a bowling party I went to Crest and we had the most amazing time. All the kids enjoyed themselves and the parents who stayed. I hope they don't loose that.

I know that birthday parties were a focus of the old management team. League bowling and traditional bowlers is what the new owners like more. It's good for us league bowlers, but bad for the local families :-(
