History

In 2008, the Hollywood branch of Lucky Strike was used in Episode 5, Season 11 of America's Next Top Model; the marquee bearing the name of the alley was clearly visible as the contestants walked in. In the episode, Jay Alexander presided over a "teach"--a learning session in which the contestants were asked to perform a runway walk along a lane of the bowling alley.

In 2010 the company and CEO Steven Foster were subjects for an episode of CBS's Undercover Boss.[2]
