MASCOUTAH – State Representative Kevin Schmidt (R-Millstadt) has recognized Mascoutah Community Lanes as his March ‘Business of The Month.’ Rep. Schmidt visited with Jen and Dan, operators of Mascoutah Community Lanes, to present them with an official certificate from the Illinois House of Representatives.
“Jen and Dan have operated this local bowling alley for fifteen years and has truly made it a special place for league nights, birthday parties, fundraisers, meetings, or simply to have a fun night out with family and friends,” said Rep. Schmidt. “Bowling alleys are fantastic for small towns, and after meeting with the owner of Mascoutah Community Lanes, it’s clear why they have remained successful. The place has the ‘small-town feel’ where everyone seems to know each other.”
Jen is a graduate of SWIC culinary school and added her own New York-style pizza to the menu, along with hand dipped ice cream. She says she is grateful for the community’s continued support and for the relationships built with loyal customers over the years.
Mascoutah Community Lanes is an 8-lane bowling center that first opened in 1936. The current owner will celebrate the 90th year of operation this year. Although much of the building remains original, Jen and Dan have made cosmetic renovations and recent upgrades. The bowling alley is located at 106 East George Street in Mascoutah.
