Delaware Lanes Strikes a Deal


Delaware Lanes is a 16-lane bowling center, established in 1961, that has become an established recreational business serving the Delaware community. Kris Votaw has been bowling at Delaware Lanes for the past 20 years and, over time, became well acquainted with the overall business operations. When the owners decided it was time to retire in 2017, it was a natural fit for Kris to purchase the business.

Kris formed Lucky 13 Properties, LLC and purchased the 14,896 square foot building on a 2.53 acre lot in Delaware, OH. Chase Bank partnered with Ohio Statewide Development Corporation to provide the financing for the building acquisition. Kris has exciting plans for expanding the operations of Delaware Lanes that includes hosting corporate events and holding outdoor activities on their spacious front lot during the warmer months.
