About Us
We started selling bowling equipment online in 1999 and have built our business on customer service, hard work and an absolute dedication to growing the sport of bowling. Many years have past, but that vision from the late 90's is still going strong!
Our Story: From a Single Texas Warehouse to the Internet's Favorite Pro Shop
In 1999, long before "e-commerce" was everyday language, we launched Bowling.com in Nacogdoches, Texas. We saw the future: bowlers deserved a better way to get the latest balls, shoes, bags, and accessories, all without driving to a brick-and-mortar pro shop or settling for limited local stock.
What started as a simple online catalog has grown into the trusted one-stop bowling destination for hundreds of thousands of bowlers worldwide. We've stayed independent, family-oriented, and 100% focused on the sport we love. No distractions. Just bowling.
Nearly 30 years later, we're still in Texas, still obsessed with knowing our customers personally, delivering the perfect fit, the latest bowling equipment, and the friendliest service in the game. We've shipped millions of orders, sponsored tournaments, and helped fund the next generation of bowlers through the Bowling.com Youth Open Championship, all while keeping prices low and service personal.
