Now in its second iteration and third location, Highland Park Lanes offers a great setting for professional and amateur bowlers alike. Co-owner and general Manager Zach Endres recently spoke with the Greeley Tribune about what makes the bowling alley special and what it has in store down the line.
How did Highland Park Lanes get its start?
ZE: Highland Park Lanes originally was Bowlorado and was over on 10th Street in the old Kinko’s building. Before that, it was actually downtown in the old Greeley Tribune building. It moved out here in 1992 or ’93 and it became Highland Park Lanes.

ZE: Our specialty is still league tournaments. We make a lot of our financials from league and tournament play. We have two different league seasons — one is a 12-week season, and the other ranges anywhere from 28 to 35 weeks, depending on what league it is. Most of those coincide with the school year, so they start in September and they end in April or May. We do our leagues five nights a week, from 6-9 p.m. Monday through Friday. We also have a couple senior and ladies leagues in the daytime Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays and junior leagues for kids on Saturdays. Weekends are when when we do the majority of our tournaments, or it is open for the general public. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays we offer $3 games and $3 shoe rentals, which is the cheapest in the state.

ZE: This will be our fourth season of hosting the PBA50 Tour U.S. Open, which is one of the three majors they have every year. The last two years, we’ve hosted the women’s minor league tour, which is the PWBA Regional Tour. They were so impressed that they wanted to bring the PWBA, which is their major leagues. So early in May, the PWBA will be here, then later in the month, the senior tour will be here. …
Just having any of the pro tours coming to Colorado is a rarity itself. And to be given the U.S. Open — to have the Pete Webers, the Chris Barneses of the world come to podunk Greeley, Colorado, and say this might be one of the finest establishments in the nation — means we must be doing something right. Because those guys have been everywhere.
What drives your success?
ZE: We’re all bowlers. Jackson Deines, the other co-owner, his grandpa is the one that started this whole thing. Jackson and I grew up bowling. We love bowling. It’s what we do. So to be able to walk into an environment where a majority of the staff are all athletes — sometimes decorated, sometimes not — but have a love for what they do every day makes it a lot easier for us to spread the gospel of bowling per se.

ZE: We are the first bowling center in the state to install a fully programmable LED screen — 185 feet across, 12 feet tall — above the lanes. It’s a full-blown scoreboard like you would see if you went to a national bowling event you would see on TV. So for us, it’s just staying ahead of the Joneses in the bowling world and being known as a gem of bowling. Keep moving forward in bringing in big tournaments and letting the general public interact with these individuals. Because you’re not going to go to Coors Field to play a Pro-Am baseball event with Zac Veen. But in here, we’ll have dinner with these guys, because they’re no different than we are.
