The former Roll On America in Lancaster
About a month after Lancaster recreation center Roll On America shut its doors — after over four decades in business — the property at 90 Duval Road was purchased for $2.5 million by Five SAC Self-Storage Corp., a corporation presided over by Mark Shoen, a billionaire owner and vice president of self-moving company U-Haul, according to public documents.
The seller, Giggles and Grins LLC, is managed by Donald Perkins, who owns the business with his wife, Susan Perkins.
The sale was finalized on May 11.
Roll On America announced its impending closure on March 18, in a Facebook post.
“As we head into retirement, we were hoping to have Roll On America live on with a new owner; however COVID-19 and extended closures have not allowed that dream to become a reality,” the duo wrote. “It is extremely difficult to say goodbye and close our doors to all the fun times our skating family has given us.”
The final skate took place at Roll On on April 5.
The property’s new owner, Shoen, is #752 on the Forbes list of billionaires. The magazine estimates he is worth $3.8 billion, and reports he owns one-fifth of U-Haul’s parent company, Amerco, as well as his own self-storage company.
The property on Duval Road was last assessed at $1.07 million in 2020, according to state records.
