Sk8LikeYou Podcast Topic Show Episode 119: What Makes a Successful Rink with Brad Armstrong

This month on the SK8LIKEYOU Podcast Topic Show, I’m joined by co-host Liz Brown of Rink Rat Chat and special guest Brad Armstrong, owner of multiple roller skating rinks across the United States including Roller Kingdom in Reno, Nevada, The Rink in Sacramento, California, Top Gun Skate Center in Fallon, Nevada, and Cortland Roller Rink in Cortland, Ohio. In this episode, we sit down and talk about what actually makes a roller rink successful. Brad gives real insight from the owner’s perspective about why some rinks thrive while others struggle to survive. We talk about the biggest mistakes rink owners make, how skating culture has changed over the years, what skaters expect from a modern rink experience, and what it really takes behind the scenes to keep a rink operating successfully. This conversation goes far beyond just business. We talk about community, music, culture, leadership, consistency, and the responsibility that rink owners have in helping keep roller skating alive for future generations. If you’ve ever wondered why some rinks become legendary while others disappear, this is an episode you don’t want to miss. New episodes every Sunday. Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Amazon Music, and iHeartRadio. #SK8LIKEYOU #RinkRatChat #BradArmstrong #RollerSkating #RollerRink #SkateCulture #ShuffleSkating #RhythmSkating #JamSkating #RollerRinkOwner #SkatingCommunity #Podcast #SkateLife #SupportYourRink #TopicShow
