fit all our public session guests with skates and strive to keep our facility immaculate and in top condition. We may have to eliminate fitting guests with skates, compromise on keeping our facility as clean and well maintained, reduce our frequency of sharpening skates, etc. If those measures don’t enable us to remain solvent, we will likely go the way of the dinosaurs. I don’t think that the consumer is ready to pay $20 to go skating or $15 for a foot-long sandwich!”

“It will affect our bottom line but not significantly. Our concession stand will see the major hit in loss of profits. The price point threshold for the customers versus the cost of product and labor will make it very hard to sell products at a 40 to 100 percent profit margin. Overall, we have adjusted our main source of revenue (ice rate) by increasing it by $5 an hour. We will be at $225 an hour as of September 2017. I believe this will be the main increase we will see in many cases in Minnesota facilities.”

2016 State Minimum Wage Highlights


• New York became the second state to pass a new law that would raise the minimum wage in New York City to $15 per hour by the end of 2018. Washington D.C. followed suit, enacting a law to raise the minimum wage in the district to $15 per hour by July 1, 2020.


• Te new law in California increases the minimum wage to $15 per hour by Jan. 1, 2022, for employers with 26 or more employees. For employers with 25 or fewer employees, the minimum wage will reach $15 per hour by Jan. 1, 2023. Beginning the first Jan. 1 after the minimum reaches $15 per hour for smaller employers, the minimum wage is indexed annually for inflation.


• Oregon established a series of annual minimum wage increases from July 1, 2016, through July 1, 2022. Beginning July 1, 2023, the minimum wage rate will be indexed to inflation based on the Consumer Price Index.


• Fourteen states began 2016 with higher minimum wages. Of those, 12 states increased their rates through legislation passed in the 2014 or 2015 sessions, while two states automatically increased their rates based on the cost of living.


• Of the 11 states that tie increases to the cost of living, eight did not increase their minimum wage rates for 2016. Colorado provided for an 8-percent increase and South Dakota granted a 5-cent increase per hour. Increases in Nevada took place in July.
