Our Approach

Relationships are the foundation of our success. Whether you're stepping in to our shop for the first or 50th time, we want to get to know you. As a small staff of bowlers who are passionate about the sport, we stay up-to-date on the latest technology and innovations so you can keep getting better. We look forward to making you part of the Lightning Strikes Family!

 Our Story

After years of managing pro-shops, Dave Remp decided it was time to start his own. In 2007, he and Tim Bates partnered with Colonial Lanes to build something unique for Central Florida’s bowling community. What began as one of the area’s smallest pro-shops grew into one of Orlando’s best-stocked bowling resource centers.

In 2015, Dwain Prather joined the team as a ball technician, bringing even more knowledge and passion to the shop. When Colonial Lanes closed in 2018, Dave and Tim continued the mission by relocating to a nearby spot on Curry Ford Road, where they proudly served bowlers from all over the region.

And the saga continues…

After a successful chapter on Curry Ford, a wonderful opportunity presented itself one that allowed Lightning Strikes Pro Shop to grow even further. In June 2019, the shop relocated to the vibrant city of Kissimmee, inside the Bowlero AMF Kissimmee Lanes.

Today, our new location marks an exciting new era. The same passion, the same expertise, and the same family-style servicenow in a bustling center where we continue helping bowlers elevate their game.

Lightning Strikes Pro Shop: A story still being written, one bowler at a time.
