Lugaro Bowling





catherine barr

TEAM building can often bring out the best in people, so what better way to bring your team together than with a fun night out at the bowling alley. Lugaro Jewellers, a North Shore mainstay for many years now, held their employee night out on Sunday March 24 at the Park Royal Lanes. The bowling alley, (which is, sadly, set to close at the end of March), was bustling with activity as the teams knocked 'em down. Afterwards, prizes and awards were handed out in the Jake and Elwoods pub (which WILL remain open even after the lanes are closed). Great team spirit, great team fun.

In 1980, Steve and Clara Agopian started Lugaro's with just two people and one shop. Today, over 100 employees work behind the scenes to keep people smiling.
