Double Decker Lanes

THANK YOU for your continued support of Double Decker Lanes. Whether it has been a contribution to our GoFundMe, a call to the bowl or an email to check-in, a comment on our social media or just holding the bowl in your thoughts we are grateful for you and your efforts. Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving.

ATTENTION ALL DOUBLE DECKER LANES FANS! In light of the continuation of the mandated closure of the bowl, a GoFundMe account has been created to hopefully provide some relief to the associated operating costs that continue to be incurred despite being closed to the public these many months. Any and all donations will be gratefully received, and will go directly to operating costs. Thank you in advance for your consideration, full details here:... gf.me/u/y8sc6t See more

We are thrilled to announce we will be holding a Welcome Back Tournament just as soon as we get approval to open. Dates to be announced, so check back here on FB. Masks will be required at all times, limited to 100 bowlers.

We continue to make improvements to the bowl, looking forward to the day we can welcome you back!

Local bowlers going to counties that have their Bowling Centers open! Tournaments happening in Reno and outlying areas ! As we wait for Sonoma County to move forward, please everyone follow all protocols that have been asked of us to do! We all need to work together to beat this Virus! As the opportunity arises for us to move to the Red Tier! DD Lanes will be contacting all our league bowlers regarding returning to league play! Also! We will be working on weekend tournaments for all! PLEASE observe all protocols! Masks will be mandatory inside the bowling center! Safety for our customers and employees is our priority! See you when we open!

A very heartfelt THANK YOU for voting us The Best of Sonoma for a second year! We couldn't do it without you and look forward to hearing the pins fall when you can visit us once again.

On behalf of Windsor Bowling Center, Cal Skate, Double Decker Lanes, Reed Between the Lines Escape Room, Fundemonium, Rebounderz Adventure Park, Buffalo Bills B...illiards, Dog House Billiards, and Epicenter Sports and Entertainment, we’d like to thank you for supporting us and for helping create the diverse business environment that existed in Sonoma County until March of this year. We are now asking for your help to save these businesses. Otherwise, we won’t see a future in Sonoma County that has this wide range of options for recreation and fitness for ourselves and our families. Many of you are not quite ready to come back to see us, and we respect and appreciate your views on what is best for your own family. However, once we are given the opportunity prove to you that our reopening policies will provide a very high level of safety, we know that a whole lot of you will be very ready and excited to bring your families back to have a great time. We are experts in our respective businesses and industries, and we have spent a lot of time and effort crafting exceptional safety plans. We are confident that we can provide you the extraordinary fun and fitness that our businesses are known for while strictly enforcing safety protocols that keep everyone safe. Unfortunately, under the color-coded system announced by the state, our businesses will NOT be allowed to reopen in the Red tier, while almost every other kind of business will be open in Sonoma County at that time (including big box stores, movie theaters, cannabis businesses, malls, casinos, indoor museums, tattoo and piercing studios, and almost all in-person retail). We are making as much noise as we can to try to see equity inserted into the state’s color-coded reopening matrix, but our voices alone can’t affect the change we need. We are asking each of you to support us in these efforts in the hopes that our elected leaders will listen to the voice of the people and treat our businesses fairly and equitably. We need to bring the fun and fitness of our businesses back into the lives of our Sonoma County community. We respectfully and humbly ask that you write an email or call any or all the public officials listed below and let them know that you would like to see our businesses reopened in the RED tier. You can use some of the Not So Fun Facts at the end of this email for ammunition if you’d like.

Skating rinks, bowling facilities, family entertainment centers, trampoline parks, youth sports, adult sports, and similar family-oriented businesses. These businesses should be moved to the Red tier of reopenings, simply because it makes sense to allow them to reopen when their peer businesses are allowed to be open. Families from Sonoma County are traveling outside of Sonoma County (and sometimes even out of California) in order to find family recreation due to our local family recreation being shut down. The continued shutdown of our businesses has created perverse incentives for people that is harming the Covid mitigation effort. If our family-friendly businesses aren’t allowed to reopen soon, there’s a very good chance that some or all of them will be forced to permanently close. Imagine raising a family in Sonoma County without these kinds of local businesses. Our businesses employ roughly 500 people in Sonoma County. Losing those jobs would be devastating. Dr. Mase was quoted in the Press Democrat noting that there was little evidence that malls and hair cutting businesses were the source of cases in Sonoma County, and therefore they should be opened. None of our businesses have been identified as a source of cases in Sonoma County, and we believe that this should compel Dr. Mase to speak on behalf of our reopenings as well. Social distancing is easier and more commonly practiced in our businesses than in your typical retail business we have a lot of space! Our businesses provide recreation and exercise that creates healthy people and healthy communities. People need to have fun with their families and need this exercise for their emotional and physical wellness. Thank you for listening to our concerns and we would greatly appreciate your support in these incredibly challenging times.
