Nicholas Family Of Companies’ Spectate Group Tapped For Operation Of Carmel Ice Skadium In Indianapolis Suburbs

The Hamilton County Reporter

Taylor Johnson client Nicholas Family of Companies (NFOC) has wasted no time in expanding its presence in the Indianapolis market following its announcement this spring that it was selected to develop, build and operate Westfield Ice Facility, a new multi-sheet indoor ice arena at Grand Park Sports Campus in Westfield, Ind. Most recently, Spectate Group, NFOC’s in-house sports and recreation division, was tapped to lease, manage and operate the Carmel Ice Skadium, a two-rink arena that has been a fixture in Carmel, a popular Indianapolis suburb, for more than 50 years. With the Carmel location, Spectate now has a portfolio of four ice arenas under management, a total already set to grow with both the fall 2026 opening of NFOC-developed Elk Grove Ice Arena in Chicago’s suburbs and the 2028 opening of the new Westfield facility. We shared news of NFOC’s latest activity in the Hoosier State with local, regional and trade media, resulting in coverage in Athletic Business, Carmel Current, Indianapolis Business Journal, REjournals, The Hamilton County Reporter and Youth Sports Business Report.
