Profiles In Business Excellence: Chacko's Family Bowl Inside the large building on Wilkes-Barre Boulevard are thousands of flashing and blinking neon lights, racks and racks of multicolored spheres, and the ominous booming sound of crashing thunder. With 40 lanes, a full bar, snack stand, an arcade, and a Pro Shop, Chacko's Family Bowling Center is the mecca for all things bowling. Since 1972, the Chacko family has provided a place for bowling enthusiasts from our area to gather and enjoy this truly American pastime. In addition to bowling, Chacko's provides a venue for children's parties, fundraisers, and school events. Every weekend at the bar, Memory Lane Lounge, there is live music and entertainment. It also provides catering for events and special occasions that are held off premises. The kitchen staff is quickly making a name for itself with brick oven pizza and a secret family recipe for the chicken wing sauce, created by owner Dan Chacko. Dan also runs and operates the Pro Shop inside. It is such a well-known shop that many bowlers come from outside the area just to have Dan customize their favorite ball, or to order some new shoes. In fact, his reputation for achieving and maintaining excellence has made Dan quite popular among bowling's elite players. So what makes Chacko's Family Bowling different from any other bowling alley? Dan's daughter, Kara, believes it is the modern look and friendly atmosphere that keep people coming back. We keep the lanes and machines very clean, she said. We also like to keep the look modern, with the bright colors and fancy lights to differ from the usual dingy and drab look of old alleys.
