number of skates need to start a rink

Question
we have been donated a building to start up a roller rink in and have figured in all the cost except for the number of skates we will need in each size to supply our rink, we are looking at a total of 200 skates to have for rent,  we are in a town of 8000 people so it will not be a huge rink

Answer
Hi Kathy,
  I asked the owner of the rink I teach at and here's how many we carry.

In most sizes we have 30 skates; in some juvie sizes perhaps 15-20 skates, in the super sizes (13-15) we have 3-6 skates. Then we have speed and inline skates with 4-8 skates per size.

I hope this helps you out.
 If I can help with anything further, feel free to write again.
