| In
August of 1961 my parents, Peter and Rosalie Scimone
opened Roseland Lanes in Oakwood Village, Ohio
(see map).
This land, once
a farm, was built over the years by Pete, into
a 50 lane family recreation center. During
these many years of business the Scimone philosophy
has remained the same: to treat our customers
so they are "only a stranger but once."
This means a friendly welcome, prompt and courteous
service, a clean atmosphere and quality equipment
for which we are proud.
This philosophy
has been our trademark to our loyal league bowlers
as well as to our many spectators and open bowlers.
Even in retirement, all business operations and
promotions, are overseen by the watchful
eye of my parents. With the help of their
family they boast that their center provides the
most consistent quality service for the price
anywhere.
All additions
and remodeling was done by my dad Pete over the
40 + years. He named the bowling center
after our mom, Rosalie. The Snack
Bar, “Pete’s Café & Grille”
and the Pizzeria, “Papa Pete’s Pizza”
and the Lounge, “Pete’
Pub” was named after Pete for his
love for food and his talented craftsmanship.
What a legend over the years!
