Cinergy Cinemas & Entertainment has once again partnered with QubicaAMF, the largest bowling products company in the world, on its newest location. Cinergy pioneered the Cinema Entertainment Center (CEC) concept by anchoring theatres and bowling within its entertainment facilities. Its newest location in Amarillo, Texas, will include 18 lanes of bowling featuring the BES X Bowler Entertainment System, TMS String Pinspotters and white bowling lanes to complement the rest of its entertainment offerings.

Exploring options to grow their business, Cinergy chose to include bowling as an anchor attraction in its new facilities beginning in 2016. “After evaluating other companies, we quickly learned the most costly expense is the equipment you have down on a Friday night,” explains Jeff Benson, CEO Cinergy Cinemas & Entertainment. “That is why we chose to go with the reliable and innovative bowling products from QubicaAMF.”
