A new roller skating studio looks set to open in Leeds.

Roller Girl Gang has said it has “outgrown” its current space and will expand its offering as it looks to move. The award-winning roller skating business was founded in 2015 by former primary school teacher Melissa Blackwood. It started off as a passion project, as Melissa looked to build a community of adult roller skaters in the city. She opened her first shop in the Corn Exchange in 2020 selling wide range of roller skates and accessories, and said the journey since has been “amazing”.

She said: “My shop is far too small to actually skate in. With the best will in the world, you can try them on and that's it. We sometimes have people shuffle up and down the carpet and it's just not the same.
