History of Eastway Bowl
Eastway bowl first came to be in 1965. originally it had only 24 lanes and had a very small bar with only two tables and a bar.
It was first ran by don pearson, who moved to sioux falls and started up his own bowling alley to begin his lifelong bowling career. he taught bowling lessons and participated in tournaments.
Don started the Big Sioux Tournaments as well as a children's handicapped bowling league.
Tom and Cindy Thomas then owned Eastway after purchasing it from don in 1984. In 1987, 8 more lanes were added to make a total of 32 lanes. The bar was also expanded to include a full kitchen and lounge in 1993.
Tom and Cindy’s sons, Josh and Jeremy Thomas managed Eastway from 2005 till 2008, where then they bought the company from their parents.
The brothers ran Eastway together until 2012, where Josh bought the company from Jeremy and took full control of Eastway Bowl. Josh still owns the company to this day.
