New Year brings management changes at Texas-based Super Bowl Entertainment
01/14/10
Super Bowl Entertainment, LLC, the Texas-based bowling center chain owned by Jamie Brooks, Randy Isenberg and partners, is announcing that Brooks has sold most of his share of the seven center operation to Isenberg and partners, effective immediately.
The chain includes seven Texas centers in Plano, San Antonio, Marble Falls, Waxahachie, Corsicana, Ennis, and Odessa. Brooks will retain Diamond Bowl in Odessa with all other centers remaining a part of Super Bowl Entertainment, LLC.
Brooks (pictured), a former President of the Bowling Proprietors Association of America, and been in the bowling business since 1955, owning and operating more than 40 centers in that time.
2009 was a good business year that was marred by personal tragedy for Brooks, family and staff. In July, Plano Super Bowl Pro Shop Manager Larry Reynolds, 53, suffered a fatal heart attack. In September, mechanic Jim Scott passed away, and in October, Jamie and Peggy Brooks' daughter Monica was killed in an auto accident at age 37.
"I'm pleased to say we have reached an agreement which will allow me to slow down a little after the events of the past year, and we wish Randy and everyone involved all the best in the future," said Brooks. "I really want to thank all the employees and all the bowlers for making my job so much fun for the past four years."
Isenberg (right), 57, and his family are also well known in the industry. He and his parents, Emory and Peggy Isenberg, bought a center in Midland, Texas in 1976, and the family later built two new centers there. His uncles, Bernard Goldgar and Al Hurwitz, began the family bowling connection with a 16-laner in Corpus Christi in 1948.
Isenberg also served as the Executive Director of the Southern California Bowling Proprietors Association from 1992-2007, and owned a 32-lane center there before he returned to Texas to partner with Brooks.
"We all wish the best for Jamie after a very tough year for all of us," said Isenberg. "55 years is a long time to devote to any business. It has been good for him and the industry. I believe Jamie will always be a part of the business and the sport."
