Update On Closure

Polar Ice has some reaction to the newspaper article from yesterday on their website. The most disturbing part of this is that if lawsuits are flying it's a sure bet there will be no quick resolution to this issue. *sigh* Here's what they said:

UPDATE

SEPTEMBER 11, 2005

A message from Polar Ice Entertainment, Inc. President

To our valued customers:

There is nothing more important to us than the safety of our customers and guests. Since leasing the facility in Tucson (April 15, 2004), we have used our best efforts to work with our Landlord to maintain a safe facility that would bring our customers a fun experience. Unfortunately, due to inaction by our Landlord, the conditions of the mechanical equipment worsened to a point that we cannot allow facility access to our employees or customers. A lawsuit was filed in Arizona Superior Court Pima County against our Landlord (WB – Gateway, L.L.C). We have a court hearing date on Friday September 16, 2005. We will update you further upon the completion of the court hearing. Many of you have visited our other facilities within Arizona as well as other parts of the country. You know the type and quality of our facilities and the manner in which we provide for our customers. While some have made fabricated statements in the press, I ask that you judge us on who we are and the manner in which we operate our facilities and business.

We remain committed to returning to the greater Tucson region in the future.



SIncerley[sic],

Brad Berman
President, Polar Ice Entertainment
