How Film Alley Runs Movies, Bowling, and Arcade on One System

Jacob Schulman is fifth-generation ownership of Schulman Theatres, the 100-year-old family business behind Film Alley — eight combined movie, bowling, arcade, and dining venues across Texas and Arkansas.

On this episode, Jacob joins host Adam Howe to break down the exact problem every multi-attraction operator eventually hits — "there's not really one system that does it all" — and how tying ticketing, bowling, and arcade together into one operational view has let Film Alley keep guest experience ahead of back-office convenience.

They also cover why Film Alley builds in secondary and tertiary markets instead of big cities, how the company tracks and extends guest dwell time, and what it takes to plan a 100-year-old family business for a sixth generation.
