As of December 2016, a group of regional entrepreneurs took over Euro Kartracing & Bowling Groningen, located next to Kardinge . sports center. With the sale, the continuation of the company is guaranteed. The company will continue to follow the same course as before and will continue with the current team of employees.
Euro Kartracing was founded in 1996 and the bowling center was added in 2016. After the unexpected death of the former owner last spring, the management & business operations were temporarily taken over by family members. The future of the company is now secured by the sale to a group of regional entrepreneurs.
Consortium of regional entrepreneurs
The consortium behind the takeover is led by entrepreneurs; Gerben de Groot, Patrick Doornbos, Bert Lokken (Real Estate Groningen) and Jan-Michiel van der Gang. They see a wonderful opportunity in Euro Kartracing & Bowling Groningen. De Groot: “Euro Kartracing & Bowling Groningen is a household name in the north of the Netherlands in the field of karting and bowling. Together with the current team, we are happy to contribute to the continued success of the center.”
Max Verstappen
The Euro Kartracing & Bowling Groningen team wants to further expand the center in the future. The corporate competition may also be reinstated. According to the entrepreneurs, there is a lot of demand for this, partly because Max Verstappen performs so well in Formula 1. The bowling center is not forgotten in the expansion plans. The center may be expanded further and more attention will be paid to themed and club evenings.
