Courtesy of Skate Zone. Those two showed exterior and interior. Very spacious feel beause it was all White. Walls and roller floor. But when turned on black lights, the logo light up bright like the next photo. That one was taken perhaps another spot at the rink. The photograph was not great for the interior. Clearly it showed black stripes, I believe.

Skate Zone13550 W Van Buren Street, Goodyear, AZ
This rink was in Goodyear, Arizona. Funny one should mention that this rink was in a newer place. Of course, it was in a nice modern shopping plaza. It sat next door to a dollar store which made conveniences for skaters to run over to buy some socks because they may have forgotten theirs and put it on to their skates, rental or new.
UPDATE --
Skate Zone in Goodyear, AZ was a former Harbor Freight, or auto parts store. The floor was the original linoleum and slick and dirty! The whole place was filthy. The owner told me he moved to Arizona from LA and to keep his kid out of gangs, he opened a roller rink. He had little experience in rink management. It was a disaster, and it was located next to a 99 cents store in a strip mall.

Whoa. Linoleum floor on the rink? Oh man! Noooo. Bad idea! What if it peels and can easily trip a skater OR skaters.
Good move to AZ but bad idea to run this type of floor.
I was correct about the dollar store (99 Cents Store) was right next to it.
The Interior.
It had posts in the middle of the rink very similar to Empire Skates. This happens often when a rink owner wants to open a rink in a plaza and plazas are not designed for rinks, However, it felt very bright and spacious in that rink. It had Snow White Walls, it was very simple look.
The Exterior.
It was housed in a shopping plaza with the decade of 2000s look with flagstone walls, Sand colored stucco walls. Flat roof.
