A&R Skate Center to Reopen

By: Mr. Wilson on March 10, 2006
I knew it. Back when Hy-Vee closed up shop at 40th and Old Cheney Road and moved across the street to Williamsburg I just knew the space would make either a great bowling alley, indoor miniature golf center, or skating rink. It took many years and several failed businesses, but the inevitable has finally happened: A&R Skate Center will reopen in the old Hy-Vee on March 17. A&R had previously been at 710 Hill St. until they lost their lease.

I don’t skate, but I’m glad to hear this.  I remember, as a young lad, riding my bike to that Hy-Vee, and on the way finding twenty dollars.  Best day ever.

Hey…did I ever mention the time I lost $20 near Hy-Vee as a kid?

This is a great location for a skating rink. Happy to see them back in business kipping kids off the street!
