"The building was remodeled in 1957/8, and an addition was built onto it. The skating rink moved to the second floor, and a grocery store, a Thorofare, moved into the bottom. Over the decades it evolved to have multiple businesses on the bottom floor, most recently a Goodwill store and a day care upstairs."^[5]

As of 2018, Ches-A-Rena is only a memory. Google shows it as an empty lot.
