AARON’S FAMILY FUN CENTER RECEIVES

BRUNSWICK CENTER OF EXCELLENCE AWARD

LAKE FOREST, Ill., Dec. 16, 2008 – Brunswick Bowling & Billiards recently presented Robert Rouse, owner and general manager of Aaron’s Family Fun Center in Belton, Mo., with the 2008 Brunswick Center of Excellence Award.

The Center of Excellence award is given annually to bowling-based entertainment centers which illustrate the exemplary blending of cutting-edge planning and design, business critical general management and operations, effective marketing and sales strategies, and superior customer service.

“Rouse was selected for outstanding business development, strategy and implementation of his family entertainment center, as well as for his superior integration of the spirit and practices of the Brunswick Center of Excellence concept,” said Warren Hardie, president of Brunswick Bowling & Billiards.  “He modernized his existing facility into a hybrid bowling center and cutting edge business model.”

 “Brunswick plays a big part in the success of our business,“ said Rouse. “Brunswick, with the support of Jayhawk Bowling Supply, worked very closely with us to develop business strategies in the earliest stages of planning. This has been a total team effort – another reason we have recommended Brunswick to other proprietors.”  

            Brunswick partners with customers such as Aaron’s to help build their businesses and maximize performance and profits in all key areas of center development and operations through Brunswick’s Center of Excellence program.
