CBI Sunbelt Brokers Deal in Fort Smith

Dawayne Murdock and Andy Bartholomy

The Fort Smith/River Valley office of CBI-Sunbelt Business Advisors of the Ozarks brokered the exchange of ownership for Midland Bowl, the oldest bowling center in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Dawayne Murdock, broker for CBI-Sunbelt, handled the negotiations and finalized the transaction between Benefit Bank of Fort Smith and principal Andy Bartholomy. Owner of Bartholomy Bowling Centers, Mr. Bartholomy operates over half a dozen bowling centers in Missouri, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.

Midland Bowl, open since the 1970’s, has been on the verge of closing its doors to the public and to the 25 employees working there. Andy Bartholomy stepped in and made sure that wasn’t going to happen. He’s looking forward to rejuvenating Midland Bowl with his expertise in the family entertainment industry.

Along with Dawayne Murdock CBI-Sunbelt offices in Fort Smith helped complete this sale, other offices are located in Springfield and Joplin, Missouri. Carl Grimes founded the Confidential Business Intermediary Team and its mission statement, “to help people confidentially sell and buy businesses to secure their financial future.”
