Rich City Skate, located at 4648 Sauk Trail in Richton Park, Illinois, is known for its upscale environment, JB skating, and top notch skating floor. Several skaters have attested to them having the best skating floor in the Chicagoland area.
Owned and managed by the Alexander family, the rink is a dream come true – literally and figuratively. Randy Alexander told me that his wife, Debbie, dreamed of owning a skating rink. After three years of planning and preparation, Rich City became a reality in May 2006.
While ownership is the greatest reward for the family, being able to help the Black community by giving them a place to go and call home is another. African Americans currently make up 72 to 74% of the city’s population. Other rewards include saving lives of young people; giving to instead of taking away from the community; and seeing third and fourth generations of skaters in individual families.
Stop by Rich City Skate and experience the upscale environment, JB skating, and top notch skating floor. Visit http://richcityskate.com or call 708.748.7550 for more information about Rich City.
