Gordon Graham was the owner of Jackson Bowl and TJ Anderson was the manager when it opened in the summer of 1985.
Mayor Bob Shervin rolled a game celebrating the grand opening of Jackson Bowl. Glenn Deming was the manager in 1986. Brett and Kelli House were the managers by Feb 1987. Georgia Rust and Bob Rushnov were crowned Bowling Queen and King in 1987. After many attempts by Gordon Graham to obtain a liquor license, the Jackson Town Council finally granted a "club" license to the League Bowlers of Jackson Hole in September 1988 which helped keep the lanes open. Brett House and Walter Sinks were co-managers by Oct 1988. Glen Perrin was the manager from around 1989 to 1993. A foreclosure of the bowling alley was scheduled for Sept. 29, 1992 by the Small Business Administration on behalf of creditors which resulted in a bankruptcy hearing in Casper on Nov. 5, 1992 to resolve old debts. Two garage sales were held August 11 and September 1, 2001 at Jackson Bowl for bowling accessories and miscellaneous items after the center closed in late June. After the alleys closed, the building was under renovation for a future project but burned down December 13, 2001 in a welding accident and was a vacant lot until 2004 when a new medical office complex was constructed. |
