Building A Roller Skating Rink
Demographics
Demographics is the study of local populations. Before building a rink it is a good idea to get info on the local population. You'll want to know not just "how many people are in this town", but things like population growth, the age of the people near you (being near a large nursing home isn't the same thing as being across from a huge middle school), and the local income levels.
You should look at where other skating rinks are located as well as other entertainment complexes (malls, bowling, laser tag, etc.). VERY few people will drive past one rink to get to another, even if the other rink is newer, bigger, and cleaner. People in rural areas are more likely to drive 30 miles to get to you than someone in a densely populated area.
A good web for demographic info is www.sitereports.com.

Always skate smart. Use appropriate protective gear. If you're not an experienced skater then learn to skate indoors at a roller skating rink. It's a flat and smooth surface with no traffic to deal with. We strongly encourage you to take lessons (most skating rinks offer them).
