The South Philly building that houses Pep Bowl is for sale, but the sellers hope the new owners will preserve the beloved basement bowling alley.
Fans of Pep Bowl, the endearingly ramshackle bowling alley in a South Philadelphia basement, should get their games in now.that houses the beloved bowling alley was put up for sale last week by Programs Employing People , the non-profit that owns the structure and runs services for elderly residents and people with developmental disabilities.
As PEP transitioned more of their activities outside of the organization’s headquarters, they no longer require such a large building. Today, Tucker said they only use about 10,000 square feet. “Like every service provider, if you’re not providing a service, you don’t get paid,” said Tucker. “Getting people back into supportive services remains difficult because we still have people who want to stay home. That’s what financially killed us.”
PEP will likely be in their Broad Street location for the rest of the year, and hope to stay in South Philly.
