History edit
In 2008, the Hollywood branch of Lucky Strike was used in Episode 5, Season 11 of America's Next Top Model; the marquee bearing the name of the alley was clearly visible as the contestants walked in. In the episode, Jay Alexander presided over a "teach"--a learning session in which the contestants were asked to perform a runway walk along a lane of the bowling alley.
In 2010, the company and CEO Steven Foster were subjects for an episode of CBS's Undercover Boss.[2]
On July 23, 2023, Lucky Strike sent out an email to its customers stating that they have agreed to be sold to Bowlero Corporation. They also said they expected the deal to close in the later half of 2023. The deal was officially closed on September 18, 2023.
