Long Beach-based skate shop Pigeon’s Roller Skate Shop is building out a temporary roller rink at the 2nd & PCH shopping center in the Marina.<\/p>\n

The rink is scheduled to open on September 18, with a build-out including a skate rental booth and kiosk for skates, accessories and merchandise currently underway. The pop-up will be located inside the 8,000 square foot space previously occupied by shoe store OluKai and is expected to run until the end of December, according to a spokesperson for the shopping center.<\/p>\n

Skating experienced heightened popularity during the pandemic, with roller skate brands and local vendors like Pigeon’s Roller Skate Shop regularly running out of inventory. Full-time, indoor roller rinks, however, suffered from months-long closures. Several rinks in the LA area closed as a result, a trend Pigeon’s is hoping to combat with its 2nd & PCH pop-up.<\/p>\n

“I hope that stops this dead in its tracks and everybody goes: let\u2019s get that floor back,” Olivia Crosby, general manager of Pigeon’s Roller Skate Shop, said.<\/p>\n

Classes at Pigeon\u2019s Roller Rink will include skate fitness, roller derby, beginner skate lessons, roller skate dance and choreography, artistic skating and a kids club.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith such high demand for a private skate venue, we\u2019re thrilled to collaborate with 2ND & PCH to create the perfect location for skaters of all ages to have a one-of-a-kind experience this fall,\u201d Pigeon Skate Shop CEO and Founder Shayna “Pigeon” Meikle said in a press statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
