We are growing ever-nearer to Thanksgiving, and already we detect the scent of feasts being prepared.
This season isn’t just about the dishes placed before us at the table though, it’s a time to reflect on our lives and what we are truly thankful for. This characteristic of the holiday is, in our opinion, just as important for businesses to ponder as it is for individuals. That being said, we want to take some time before the hustle and bustles of Thanksgiving day to write down what it is that we are all thankful for here at Skate Moore Skate Center! 

• First and foremost, without our patrons coming to skate week in and week out, we would not exist. We thank each and every one of you, from those who have visited us once to our regulars.
• The energy you all bring! A rink is really just a wood floor without its skaters. The energy you bring to this place breathes life into what would otherwise just be another building.
• Roller skating, of course! It’s hard to consider now, but there was once a point in time when roller skating did not exist! We are so thankful to live in a time when it does and to exist during a point in its history when roller skating is so advanced. There aren’t many things in this world we can say we love more than roller skating and most everything else is a distant second.

We hope your holiday is filled with laughter and love this year! We welcome you to come visit us after Thanksgiving is over this year to skate off the inevitable extra calorie or two. Happy Thanksgiving!

Roller skating is a great activity for any time of year, but in October, it is a little extra special. That’s because the month of October is Roller Skating Month! A whole month dedicated to lacing up those skates, hitting the rink and having an all-around great time. National Roller Skating Month actually began in 1983 to promote not only its fun aspects but also the benefits it has for your health. If you are looking to celebrate this month, here are some events coming up at Skate Moore in Moore, Oklahoma.

• Fall Break Skate – In addition to our regular hours, we will be open Friday, October 21st, from 12-3pm.
• Call Your Mummy Late Skate – On Friday, October 28th we are hosting another Late Skate. Don’t miss out! Doors open at 7pm and we will be skating until 1am! Admission is only $12, so come out and join us.
• Regular Hours – If you can’t wait until this dates, then join us in the rink for our regularly scheduled hours! Plan your next visit here.

A lot of people walk through our doors, here at Skate Moore, to grab some roller rink time. Some bring their own skates, and some rent them from us. All have a great time! So which one is better? The short answer is, it all depends on you! One is only better than the other from person to person.

Here’s some things to think about when considering to buy or rent roller skates:

Renting

• If you have a young child, he/she is going to go through many growth spurts. A skate that you buy today may not fit tomorrow!
• Don’t need to worry about bringing your skates from home. You’ll always have a pair of skates here!
• If you only skate every so often (and why would you, it’s so much fun!) it might save you the big expensive of owning your own.

Buying

• If you are an avid roller skater, you can save a little extra money! While it is more expensive to purchase skates in the beginning, over time you’ll save more money.
• One big advantage of buying your own skates is that you have the opportunity to select a pair that best fits your own feet. If comfort is a big thing for you, buying a pair is the way to go.
• It comes with added bonus of picking out a style that best suits you! Red skates, green skates, blue skates or whatever you like! Everyone has their own traits that make them unique, and buying skates gives you the opportunity to express that!

Whether you want to buy or rent, we’ve got ya covered!
