Manitoba’s largest tenpin bowling centre — home to sport champions and novices alike — has hit the market.

Chateau Lanes bore no “For Sale” sign Thursday afternoon. The Nairn Avenue parking lot was full; at least 50 seniors had gathered for their weekly bowling club.

They knocked pins near a wall of youth championship banners dating to 2004. By the restaurant, an adult winner’s banner from 1999 hangs, and members’ near-perfect scores are showcased on boards.

“There’s pretty much something happening every day,” said manager Meagan Savage.

She’s grown up at Chateau Lanes; her family bought the business in 2010. The bowling alley has been an east Winnipeg hub since 1963.

There’s a retirement, said real estate agent Jamie McCreedy. Chateau Lanes is now listed for $1.99 million.
