Premier Shopping Destination Brings Back
Stardust Roller Rink for a Nostalgic Community Celebration
SURREY, BC,
Aug. 12,
2024 /CNW/ - Let the good times roll! Guildford Town
Centre, the Fraser Valley's premier shopping destination and
community hub, proudly announces the revival of a beloved local
landmark, Stardust Roller Rink. Reimagined as Skate Stardust and
set to open September 12, 2024, the
cultural throwback will take center stage at Guildford Town Centre
until October 31, inviting visitors
of all skating abilities to connect with the joy of roller skating
and roll back in time to the golden era of the 90s.
An icon in the community, the original Stardust Roller Rink
opened in 1971 and ceased operations in 2005, leaving a void in
Surrey's cultural landscape. Now,
Guildford Town Centre is bringing the magic back with a reimagined
1,690 square-foot roller rink and lounge space that captures the
essence of the original hot spot. Get ready to hit rewind, where a
retro-themed atmosphere—complete with a vibrant graffiti wall, neon
lights, and a DJ booth—will transport visitors to a time before
Y2K, social media, and smartphones.
Reopening Stardust is more than just a nod to the past; it's a
revival of the community spirit that once defined the time-honoured
rink.
"Guildford Town Centre is thrilled to have been graciously
granted exclusive Stardust naming rights, allowing us an
opportunity to introduce the iconic roller rink to a new generation
and bring it back to former fans," said Kiran Deol, Marketing Manager at Guildford Town
Centre. "This initiative is not just about recreation but also
about celebrating our community's history and providing families
and friends with a place to create incredible experiences and new
memories."
"Even though the Stardust rink closed in 2005, I still run into
people who have a Stardust story," says Bonnie Burnside, a former employee of the
original Stardust Roller Rink. "From birthday parties to band
nights, from all-night skates to roller hockey, Stardust played an
important role in growing up in Surrey."
With free entry and a $2 skate
rental fee, one hundred percent of Skate Stardust proceeds will go
toward the Surrey Firefighters Charitable Society. Running
September 12 until October 31, Stardust will be open Monday through
Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and
Sundays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Minimum age to participate is 5 years old, and while guests are
encouraged to bring their own gear, skates and protective gear will
be available to rent. For scheduling details and more information,
