Have been Inside the Classic Products warehouse In Nevada. It's huge and they sell all brands. Not sure how this benefits the Industry or not as we don't have any details at this time.
The timing of this acquisition suggests to me that it may be a response to potential import tariffs on products produced in Mexico affecting price parity with domestically produced brands, such as Motiv and SPI. April 30, 2025 is the stated cutoff date for current distributors to purchase Brunswick products, and may continue to sell those products as they liquidate existing inventory.
Wonder how this ends up affecting Cliff Barnes’ contract with Hudson (number one supplier for BowlersMart east of Mississippi) vs Cliff’s contract with brusnwick (gigantic rebate contract), vs his interest in IQ/parterning vs DiLaura vs the AceMitchell BowlersMart contract… Interesting to see how this affects him and the 40+ BowlersMart shops
Very interesting. I would say this isn't quite a monopoly because as you mentioned in the video, there are other distributors. I'm sure Brunswick got sick of being bullied by distributors and wanted to vertically integrate, that way they make more profit off the balls they make.
Welcome back my man!!
Thank you sir!
WELCOME BACK BRO! "fresh and crackin hot" baby!

Brunswick is now the New York Yankees of bowling ( they buy everything )
For future reference it’s pronounced Jeff “Rig-gils” 😂
Thank you broseph, wouldn't be the first time I've murdered a last name :P
I mean nobody is stopping Bowlero from buying up all of these bowling alleys 🤷🏿♂️
Lol bowlero should put more money into to tour that have raised payout since the 70s.
1984 gokd ball by brunswick at moint morris lanes in new york state
I'm trying to grasp as to why Brunswick would buy out Classic Products. Are they trying to eliminate the other Brunswick/Quality Distributors?
Every Brunswick distributor just got screwed.
B7 acquisition of Classic Products has been cancelled.
Correct and I just dropped a video on it th-cam.com/video/b5rD5fy9CaI/w-d-xo.html
I feel like this could end up being really bad for bruiswhick then it is good
Simple… Brunswick will keep same business model.. they will just profit from sales of other brands also.
Everything Brunswick sells is so overpriced other then balls I expect bowling centers will have to go up on lineage due to Brunswick overcharge
