Our Story

Bill and Gloria Boje built their first bowling sports entertainment center in St. Louis, Missouri in 1959. The center’s original name was Marlborough Lanes (after England’s, Duke of Marlborough and also the name of the little village where the center was located). Later it was renamed Sunset Lanes (after the beautiful sunsets glowing through the famed gateway to the west, “the St. Louis Arch”). Although sadly Bill passed away in 2020, the center proudly continues to be owned and operated by the Boje family. The family has owned as many as eight centers and operated even more than that over the years.

In 1990, Bill and his son, Jeff, built Brandon Crossroads Bowl, a 40,000 square foot sports entertainment center. Their guests have made a tradition over the years of referring to the center as “BCB”. BCB dominated the Brandon league bowling market for over two decades by consistently delivering the highest bowling scores in the Tampa Bay area. It had the most league bowlers per lane in the state of Florida for at least a decade. It also led the market with its numerous youth programs and produced some of the top bowlers in the area to this day. BCB is also known for its friendly and service oriented staff, many of whom have worked at the center for well over a decade.
