The Skate Now Shop: A great resource!
January 26, 2012 @ 6:03 PM
I got this great email today from Kimberly Kraan, owner of The Skate Now Shop in Salt Lake City:
We’ve been established in in Salt Lake City (home of 2002 Olympics) and service both ice and inline speedskating communities. We both come from inline & ice speedskating backgrounds, we both compete inline distance racing, and Eric has competed internationally in long track world cups. We also run a skate school and are certified coaches and instructors for ice speed & inline skating, and quad skating. Eric has a background in technical aspects of skate blades & maintenance as well, as he used to service blades for US team members as well as other world team athletes (he was trained by the best). We bring our expertise of skating technical knowledge to our customers, whether it’s learning how to sharpen skates, read a gauge, or understanding the many technical aspects of skating disciplines. With that we are more than a skate store, our customers benefit from our years of knowledge as well, and can make informed decisions about their skate gear purchases, rather than blindly point & click as one can on most web shops. We have a brick & mortar store located in Salt Lake, so skaters are able to come and see products side by side to make comparisons, and try things on. We strive to bring that same level of information to the web shopper as well, as we understand not all skaters will have the chance to visit us in Salt Lake. That said, we make a point to pay strong attention to skaters’ needs, budgets, etc. , in order to help them align their purchase of skates & equipment with their personal goals for skating. We also spend time up front assessing foot sizing information in order to eliminate the risk of return/exchanging boots sizes.
We hope that we can service your club’s skates & equipment needs in the same manner we have for the many clubs that we offer skates & services to across the US.
We can do discounts for group orders /club orders with volume purchase on most products to assist your club and its members.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you.
