The Quad

11/28/2019

'Tis the season of being thankful, so we would love to extend a warm message of gratitude to everyone who has helped work and support The Quad over the past many months. Big things are happening behind the scenes to help get us closer and closer to actually being able to open!

One of the big and exciting projects over the recent months, was helping bring life back into the huge lot of quality used roller skates from two local rinks that have since closed. We and a crew of lovely volunteers spent a good amount of time, organizing, cleaning and refurbishing this big batch of old school skates. These skates will provide that classic roller rink skating vibe that we all know and love! We have child size six all the way up to adult size sixteen, so there's no doubt that we definitely have your size! We want to bring back and offer skate lessons, family skate, and adult skate during the week. Are you excited to be able to roller skate in Downriver again?!

Big thank you to those who helped us with this massive project- Downriver Roller Dolls and Motown Junior Roller Derby!

Things have been heating up at The Quad! Have you had a chance to come see us and try out some food? We have been supporting some recent local events and providing a small sample taste of the delicious types of food that we plan on having available at The Quad! Using fresh ingredients and fun flavors, our chef and his crew have worked hard to provide our customers with delicious, high-quality food.

Let's learn a little bit more about our Executive Chef, Sam Allen! Sam was born and raised in Downriver and hails from Flat Rock, Michigan. He was formally trained at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School in Chicago. While there, he worked in some of the best restaurants the city had to offer! But even then, he still wanted to bring all that he had learned and created, back home. So, he came back to Downriver and worked in various restaurants for the next few years but never found a place where he "fit" and could truly show all that he had to offer. Until one day, he was approached by The Quad... In his own words, "I feel like I've been given the amazing opportunity to present myself through my food to the towns and community that I love and keep so dear in my heart! I’m very excited to elevate the food of Downriver and to give something back after they have given me so much."

The Quad is going to be an awesome space for all types of fun in Trenton! While you're having a delicious meal and a cold drink, you and friends can be playing games, having great conversation, watching a derby bout, enjoying a movie, listening to music, almost anything! We will have a variety of games and activities available to keep you entertained and a variety of food and drinks to keep your bellies full!

The Quad is an idea that was born from four ladies’ late nights conversations, dreaming of the future and what was to come of not only roller derby, but the whole skating community in Downriver, Michigan with the impending closure of the cherished Skateland of Woodhaven.

This was the home to two roller derby leagues, the Downriver Roller Dolls and Motown Junior Roller Derby, who would now be left looking for a place to practice. These four women, took it upon themselves, with the support of a large network of friends and families, to make the dream of a new home, a reality.

Finding the spark of inspiration within the hallowed walls of the former Trenton Lanes on West Jefferson, the plan to revitalize the space and restore it into a fun, energetic, entertaining place was developed. With innumerable hours of brainstorming, paperwork, manual labor and literal blood, sweat and tears (sometimes happy) from countless supporters, The Quad was becoming a reality.
