Is Sweetcars Expanding into the Old Westwood Lanes Bowling Alley?

As you drive down West Jefferson Boulevard, heading towards or away from downtown Fort Wayne, IN, you can't help but notice Sweetcars, located at 2404 W Jefferson Blvd, Fort Wayne, IN; a luxury car dealership formed in 2010. For those who have grown up in Fort Wayne, IN, or have been here for many years, you may remember Westwood Lanes bowling alley. The bowling alley was located directly behind Sweetcars and has been around since 1962. In 2017, Westwood closed their doors indefinitely and put the building up for sale. If you've passed this area recently, you will notice the outside of this 30,000-square-foot building is now painted to match the Sweetcars building and proudly displays a Sweetcars sign in place of the old bowling alley display.

If this building were bought, it would provide Sweetcars with a conjoined parking lot, allowing significantly more parking, extra lot space, and adding value to the company as a whole.
