Along Main Street in Dell Rapids stands Pinz —a local bowling alley offering a fun-filled experience for families and friends.
Established in 1960, Pinz entered a new chapter in September 2022 under the ownership of Casey McCoy .
McCoy never expected to own a bowling alley, though.
“The mother of the previous owners approached me and asked if I was interested in taking over,” shared McCoy. “I had seen they had it on sale on Facebook, but didn’t put too much thought into it, as I wasn’t at a stage in my life where I could jump back into this type of thing.”
Previously, McCoy—a trained chef—had been a part of 15 grand openings, serving as the general manager or executive chef.
“This would be the first time I would be the owner,” he recalled.
After that visit, McCoy pondered the offer more, and then two- and-a-half weeks later he signed the purchase agreement.
McCoy has a mission to enhance the bowling experience, while staying true to Pinz’s classic charm.
“I want to keep it as a place for kids—that’s important to me,” stated McCoy. “Overall, the energy of the kids and the guests who continue to come in revitalizes us.”
