Rainbo Sports was founded in 1956 and is one of the oldest and largest retailers of figure skating equipment and clothing in the United States. We started serving the figure skating industry as a small rink shop located in the Rainbo Ice Arena in Chicago, one of the first private indoor ice arenas in the Midwest. Since then, Rainbo Sports has grown to become the leading figure skating retailer in the US.
Rainbo Sports has always been a leader in innovation for the figure skating industry. In 1973, Rainbo introduced the first skating products catalog. In the 1980's, we developed the Rainbo Dealer Network, which is now represented in 44 states and 23 countries. In the past 10 years we have introduced ShopRainbo.com, the leading figure skating e-commerce site. We have serviced all levels of skaters and have worked with Olympic champions from Dorothy Hamill and Katrina Witt to Tara Lipinski and Evan Lysacek (who was actually a model in one of our catalogs as a kid).Â
Rainbo Sports has a proud tradition of offering the most innovative, highest quality skating equipment, apparel and products in the industry. We also have a strong tradition of service and support. We know that our own success is tied to the success of our customers - and we share in their passion for the sport we all love.
Our Mission: Rainbo Sports strives to be a constructive and positive force in the world of Figure Skating. Our aim is to provide skaters and their families with the right products for their needs, fitted properly and outfitted to maximize their performance, while at the same time providing an excellent value.
