    Competitive Landscape Brief

    Demographics, personal income, and leisure time drive demand. The profitability of individual companies depends on the ability to drive traffic and provide a superior customer experience. Large companies have advantages in purchasing, finance, and marketing. Small companies can compete effectively by serving a local market or offering a unique experience. The industry is very labor-intensive: average annual revenue per worker is about $40,000. Bowling is both a competitive sport and recreational entertainment. As such, bowling competes with other leisure time activities, like sports, hobbies, and electronic media (movies and TV).
