Vertz says there are two local investors looking at purchasing the property and help pay off debts. 

The bowling alley in Kansas City, Kansas has been a fixture in the community for more than 60 years and is one of only two in Wyandotte County.

Vertz took over the bowling alley four months ago when the previous owner walked away. 

“It just fell in my lap. If I bought his business, I bought his debt and I didn't want his debt,” Vertz said in a March interview. The owner before him allegedly owed $400,000 in unpaid mortgage payments and property taxes.

A fundraiser was also held in March to save the Ranch Bowl.
