Update 4/23/2025: The store has been rebuilt and is operating again after the revival plan was hatched in 2022. Good news. See recent photos below.
The Whoopee Bowl was opened by Dale and Marguerite Wilder. Dale ran a printing business until he was drafted into the Army during WWII. When he came home he and his wife wanted to start a business so they bought 49 acres of land in Springfield Twp. Their original idea was to build a swimming pool business but decided against it due to the harsh Michigan winters. I also added a photo of the old Whoopee Bowl near Owosso at 3570 M-21 for the hell of it.
