Houston19514 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 An official press release, or a script to read to inquisitors about why Lucky Strike won't make it's open date.Why would Lucky Strike have someone answering the phones in Houston? As has been duly noted, they are not open and won't be for over a month. They have already told us why they will not make their original opening date. What more do you need?

rsb320 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 "Why isn't Lucky Strike opening as planned???" They can't get their bowling pins delivered in time or something like that. "Problem with deliveries". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTAWACS Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 It is completely neutral news. Just a construction delay. Nothing more, nothing less.The opening has been delayed. Clearly, this is bad news of the worst kind.Let's all hope so... There's not a living person at HP to answer the phone right now. I'm sure they're scrambling to try and pull something together.Same here. I called and the voicemail inbox was full. ugh.Pull something together for what?Putting something together so they can stay in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Here is the gist of the story from the Houston Business Journal:"Lucky Strike, originally slated to open on Nov. 26, is scheduled to resume construction on Dec. 1 and the delay could push the opening back to early 2009.Karen Mulville, general manager of Houston Pavilions, says the contractor has been waiting for pieces of equipment and millwork to complete the 24,800-square-foot venue for the past couple of weeks.

LTAWACS Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 The Lucky Strike in Hollywood and Las Vegas are re'donk. I can't imagine the Houston branch not following the design of other locations.This follows what people outside of Houston... that Houston is a boring city.

Since I'm not the least bit trendy I won't be buying any clothes at this 21 place, and paying for parking to buy books isn't at the top of my list.

Will they have league play? Or is the concept truly niteclub first, bowling second?edit: thanks Sev. I'll pass, and go to the extra crappy lanes U of H.
