Roller skating rink plans Tiffin location

Rolling Thunder to close Findlay location, reopen in Tiffin

Submitted by TIFFIN-SENECA ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP

TIFFIN, OHIO – Findlay-based roller skating rink Rolling Thunder recently announced intentions to close their current location and to work toward opening a new location in Tiffin in late 2018 or early 2019.

Owner Tim Thwaits said he has been looking at the Tiffin market for more than a year and has identified a possible location.

“Our research over the last couple years shows that much of our business is from Tiffin and Seneca County. We have the opportunity and the time is right to move our business here and provide a family friendly activity center to the community,” he said.

Rolling Thunder has been a staple of the Findlay-Hancock County community since the end of 2010, providing kids and family entertainment through a skating rink, arcade, birthday party services, as well as skate sales and repair. The same amenities will be offered in the Tiffin location, which is anticipated to be larger than the current Findlay location, allowing for the possibility of a larger rink and/or more entertainment options. Several details have yet to be finalized. The Findlay facility will be closing January 1, 2019 in anticipation of the relocation.

Tiffin Mayor Aaron Montz supports the planned development.

“I am pleased that Tim is looking at Tiffin to relocate his operations and the City of Tiffin will do whatever we can to help facilitate the move,” he said.
