MIDDLETOWN Apr 21, 2018 – Tom Roome remembers his reaction last May, when childhood friend Ari Lehman asked him to co-found a football-bowling business in New York.

Roome was somewhere between dismissive and derisive when Lehman began gushing about investing in fowling. It’s a fledgling sport, popular in Michigan, where players topple each other’s bowling pins by throwing footballs.

“I said, ‘Ari, you’re out of your mind,’ when he first called, and I hung up the phone,” said Roome, who still lives in the Village of Warwick. “I was concerned about his mental well-being.”

A year later, the pair is working toward a Memorial Day weekend opening for QB Ball in more than 10,000 square feet of Middletown’s former Clemson Brothers Hacksaw factory on Cottage Street, next to the Clemson Brothers Brewery. Read more of the article here...
