Sunrise Rollerland, a business which has operated in Citrus Heights for over 50 years, is now listed for sale at $4.35 million, a $1 million dollar price cut compared to its original listing price.
Real estate broker Tony Wood with eXp Commercial told The Sacramento Business Journal that there has been a lot of interest in the property from national buyers. However, Wood said buyers are hesitant due to the economic demands of California, which requires a higher price than other states.
The roller rink is still open and offers group lessons, birthday party packages and multiple sessions for children and adults throughout the week. For more information on sessions and cost, visit the roller rink’s website. Sunrise Rollerland is located at 6001 Sunrise Vista Drive.
The roller rink has been a staple family friendly entertainment center since before Citrus Heights incorporated, hosting skating lessons, sessions for all ages, sock-hops, birthday parties, skating competitions, and much more. Located behind Sunrise Mall, the roller rink has also stood witness to the rise and fall of the mall.
Current Sunrise Rollerland owner Ken Neutz said in a phone call with The Sentinel last spring that they’re only looking for buyers who want to continue to use the building as a roller rink, but Wood mentioned that he’s also getting interest from buyers who are contemplating different uses.
Potential use possibilities have ranged from batting cages and gymnastics to a retail use with no recreational aspect, according to The Journal.
Sunrise Rollerland is among the oldest businesses in the city, while the rink is “among the oldest anywhere,” according to the broker. The rink is one of the largest in the world, according to the real estate listing.
According to Neutz, Roller King, just outside the city’s border in Roseville, and The Rink in Sacramento were also built around the same time, just before Rollerland was constructed.
Wood did not respond before press deadline to a request for comment by The Sentinel.
