BOWL AMERICA REPORTS FISCAL YEAR EARNINGS

Bowl America Incorporated today reported earnings per share for its fiscal fourth quarter ended July 3, 2011, which included a 14th week, were $.03, down from $.04 in the comparable quarter last year.  Earnings per share for the 53-week fiscal year declined to $.30 from $.36 in the prior year.

Management believes that continuing concern about the economy on the part of our customers and potential customers has influenced   their spending of discretionary funds.

Fiscal 2011 was the Company’s 39th year of increased regular per share dividends.   The Company’s Board of Directors yesterday declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.16 to be paid in November 2011.

A more detailed explanation of results is available in the Company’s S.E.C. Form 10-K filing available through the website www.bowlamericainc.com.  Bowl America operates 19 bowling centers and its stock trades on the NYSE Amex with the symbol BWLA.
