Former 24-lane bowling center with bar and full-service restaurant on Moorefield Road in Springfield, Ohio — offered at $790,000, as-is, where-is, with all equipment, fixtures, furniture and bowling-related personal property included.
The property sustained an electrical fire in July 2025 and has been closed since. What makes this offering unusual is what has happened in the thirteen months since.
Ownership has invested approximately $800,000 in professional restoration work that is complete and documented. The building has been fully cleaned and deodorized at the whole-building level by licensed restoration contractors, the drop ceiling has been removed and the deck exposed, the pinsetter mechanicals have been professionally restored, and three new rooftop HVAC units have been installed among the six units on the roof. A new 1,200-amp Square D electrical service has been purchased and is staged for installation. New carpet and new bowling pins are on hand.
The property also includes a furnished outdoor patio with commercial-grade anti-glare televisions — revenue-generating outdoor seating that does not appear in the building's square footage and that is difficult and expensive to add to a building that does not have it.
Critically, the building has been continuously climate-controlled for thirteen months — air conditioning in season and temporary heat through the winter — specifically to preserve the completed work. The result is a clean, conditioned building of 22,764 square feet on ±3.10 acres, with open interior volume, heavy three-phase power and a 55,000 SF asphalt parking field — available to whatever concept the buyer brings. For a bowling operator: 24 lanes with restored pinsetters, new pins, a lane structure believed salvageable, a furnished outdoor patio, and an established Springfield bowling identity dating back decades.
For everyone else: open interior volume with the deck exposed, 1,200-amp three-phase service, 55,000 SF of asphalt parking, a furnished patio, and one of only two commercial anchors at the Northridge node — directly opposite Northridge Shopping Center.
Springfield sits at the I-70 corridor between Dayton and Columbus, roughly 30 minutes from downtown Dayton and 45 from Columbus.
Sold as-is, where-is, with no representations or warranties as to condition. Buyer to independently verify all measurements, zoning, permitted uses, permit status, and the scope and cost of any work required to complete or convert the building.
Financial and restoration documentation available to qualified buyers upon execution of a confidentiality agreement.
