McKenzie Roller Rink is a new enterprise that has taken over an existing facility and has made
several improvements. The company that previously leased the building was called Roller
Kingdom. The building was leased and upgraded five years ago by the owners of Roller
Kingdom, however Roller Kingdom went out of business due to mismanagement. McKenzie
Roller Rink has negotiated a lease with the building owners and were able to take over the
business with no capital outlay. With an agressive management style and marketing plan,
McKenzie Roller Rink plans to offer a unique recreational opportunity that will cater to families
as well as civic organizations, schools, and church youth groups. Therefore the numbers in the
start-up table reflect just basic start-up expenses, there are no business purchase expenses.
