King’s Roller Rink 981 Azalea St, Blackshear, GA
King's Roller Rink at this location was one of two that was owned by the Kings. I do not have information in regarding opening but closing yes because of both the Kings and their sister had cancer. It is sad. Anyway, this rink was closed in 2016 because of their health. Both rinks closed up and sold. James King sold it in October 13, 2015 for cheap price of 60,000 USD! Wow! Then next owner sold it two years later on June 22, 2017 for 50,000 USD. Wow, gotten cheaper!
I believe they opened in 1975 because it was built that year according to Xome website. I will need confirmation from people.
