Waste Reuse Practices

During Colonial Bowling & Entertainment's 2012 renovation many elements of the original building were repurposed, rather than sent to the landfill. The original bowling lanes at Colonial were made into reclaimed wooden benches. This effort was spearheaded by a local nonprofit that works with disadvantaged children, the removal of the bowling lanes was managed by the organization as part of a work skills program. Additionally, Colonial refurbished the original business sign and now it is on display with the entertainment complex.

Community


Other

Colonial Bowling & Entertainment recognizes that many of its employees have challenges in juggling work schedules and finding adequate childcare. To that end, Colonial has a child friendly work environment, and allows its employees to bring children to work. This has helped to create a family first work culture and supported the well being of its employees.
