Primary reason for closing:
"Cooper said last month that Skate World Inc. has not paid a cent of its $6,000 monthly rent to Cook and Oates since 1980. The men could afford to let the rent slide for 26 years. However, they did not want to subsidize operating costs of the rink, which began losing money two years ago."^[3]
