Have you ever dreamed of owning a 16-lane bowling alley? Or maybe operating your own meat market? Or possibly running some kind of retail biz from a spacious two-story structure smack dab in the center of the village?
If so, opportunity’s knocking on your door today.
Lakeview Bowling Center
The Lakeview Bowling Center at 715 Old Liverpool Road hosted thousands of keglers for more than 50 years before closing for good last Aug. 25.
The 26,485-square-foot building built in 1965 list for $550,000 by Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, which describes the single-story structure as a “massive and meticulously maintained center [which] comes with the possibility of six tenant spaces for an incredible multi-income business opportunity.”
Incredible, indeed. Since bowling seems to be plummeting in popularity, some quick-thinking entrepreneur might look at the parcel’s 125 parking spots on its surrounding two acres and its prime location just a moment’s drive from I-90, I-81 and 690, and consider turning the place into a nightclub. Or not.
The realtor points out that the building’s 16 lanes are complemented by a large barroom with game area, commercial kitchen, restrooms and two dining areas. The tenant area features a separate entrance with restrooms and ample office space.
Anyway, its estimated monthly mortgage is $2,450, estimated taxes $18,999, and suggested down payment $27,500. If you’re interested, contact realtor Jason Maddison at 315-412-8503; or visit 715andoldliverpoolroad.howardhanna.com; (844) 634-2662.
Mazzye’s Meats
Originally constructed in 1970 as a Dairy Queen, Mazzye’s Meats has done business at 7275 Oswego Road (Route 57) for 41 years. The family has decided to retire from sausage- and sandwich-making, but they’re offering to stay on and help and new owner with its transition. In fact, the Mazzyes are so anxious to pack it in, they’re willing to discuss creative financing terms to make the purchase possible.
The 2,200-square-foot retail building is now for sale by the owner, listing at $695,000, with taxes estimated at $4,591. That price includes the land, the building, the business, the equipment, inventory and “goodwill.”

Kashani Gifts
Iranian immigrant Sohyla Ziaie owned and operated Kashani Home Décor and Gifts at 512 Oswego St., in the center of the village business district for about five years before she died July 4, 2018. The three-story building built in 1920 boasts a hard-wood-floor interior with 1,600 square feet of usable space on an overall lot measuring 55 by 82 feet.
Coldwell Banker Prime Properties is listing the property at $219,000, with taxes estimated at $8,000.
The business operated on the first floor while the second floor features a two-bedroom apartment with separate entrances and utilities. Each floor has a separate bathroom. There’s parking in both the front and rear of the building, and it also has a three-car garage.

Seed bombs to cold frames
The Liverpool Community Gardeners have hooked up with Liverpool Public Library to present a series of hour-long presentations designed to give you a leg up on the upcoming planting season.
The series kicks off at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 15, with as LPL Outreach Librarian Maggie Foster expounds on the efficacy of milkweed seed bombs, which are crucial in creating an environment nurturing monarch butterflies. On Feb. 19 listeners will hear from longtime Liverpool resident Aaron Buchta speaking about indoor herb gardening.
On March 18, an as-yet-unnamed master gardener will discuss cold frames. Gardeners use cold frames to extend their gardening season — in the spring to get a jump start on sowing seeds and again every autumn to protect plants for a few more weeks.
