Dear Friends;
It is with great remorse that I must inform you that an era will soon be coming to an end. Capri Lanes has lost it's lease on the land and building located at 5860 Roche Drive in Columbus, thus will be forced to close this summer. Our current plan is to operate Capri as normal through Saturday, April 30th, 2022, then close forever. We will then have 2 months to liquidate any and all assets – with June 30th being the day the keys will be turned over to National Church Residences (NCR). Their plan is to demolish the building and replace it with new housing for senior citizen care.
My family, and our awesome employees, appreciate your loyalty and patronage for the past 27 years. You have made Capri much more than a business – it has become a second home to many of us, giving us the luxury of an extended family with the wonderful relationships that have formed. We will cherish the memories, and these good times will never be forgotten. We feel so fortunate and blessed to have been able to experience such friendships.
Let it be known that an offer to purchase the land/building was made to the current landlord – and this offer was VERBALLY accepted. An earnest check was mailed to him, along with an intent to purchase contract. We thought Capri had been saved and would be able to continue forward as a bowling center for many years to come. Unfortunately, before any agreements were signed and the check was cashed, NCR came in with an offer 5 times what the “accepted” offer was. Thus, the current landlord backed out of the original deal, and accepted NCR’s offer. After exploring legal action against the current landlord for backing out of a verbal contract, two separate attorneys advised against such a move. GAME OVER.
Once again - THANK YOU – the only consolation we have is knowing we had the opportunity to serve you. Although Capri will be gone, the memories and friendships will last forever!
