In January, Steve Butler, owner of Wilmington’s North Star Pizza & Bowling, put the business up for sale. Though it hasn’t sold yet, Butler said he’s prepared to hand it over to the person who will bring it into its next chapter.
Butler, who has owned the bowling center and pizza restaurant since 1979, said one of his favorite parts of the business is getting to know, and spoil, its youngest patrons.
