BOWL AMERICA SUMMER QUARTER REPORT

Bowl America Incorporated today reported a loss of $.05 per share for its first quarter ended October 2, 2011, compared to a $.04 loss in last year’s first quarter.  The bowling business is highly seasonal and the summer quarter typically includes two of the slowest business months of the year.  This year’s first quarter included one more week of fall season league bowling due to the later calendar start of the fiscal year following our 53-week year.  Fiscal 2012’s fourth quarter will have one fewer week and one less week of league bowling than the prior year comparable quarter.

Management believes the still struggling economy and weak employment outlook have impacted the public’s appetite for recreational spending.  Both open play and league bowling are suffering as a result.

Tomorrow the Company will pay a regular quarterly dividend of $.16 per share.

Bowl America operates 19 bowling centers and its Class A Common Stock trades on the NYSE Amex Exchange with the symbol BWLA.  A more detailed explanation of results is available in the Company’s S.E.C. Form 10-Q filing, available at the Company’s web site www.bowlamericainc.com.
