Part 7/10:
During the acquisition process, Sinclair found unexpected benefits in Roller City. For example, the structure enables innovative revenue opportunities, such as renting out skates, which avoids VAT on rental fees — a notable edge in comparison to visitor attractions that face a full tax on admissions.
Furthermore, the roller skating rink appeals to a broader audience, which Sinclair views as advantageous. Unlike traditional venues that might limit their clientele to families with young children, Roller City accommodates a wide age range, offering a significant potential market for growth.
Additionally, Sinclair sees potential for using the expansive space for exhibitions and events, despite originally intending to utilize the roller rink mainly as a freehold property investment.
