Family playground planned on Woodruff Road
Superplay USA to offer bowling, laser tag, games, dining
By Angelia Davis • Staff writer • February 11, 2010
A 50,000-square-foot space in the Magnolia Park Town Center development will be transformed into a mammoth playground for families. Frank Entertainment of Jupiter, Fla., will open a Superplay USA bowling and family entertainment center in a portion of the building that was home to the Montgomery Ward department store on Woodruff Road. Rick Albertson, director of real estate for The Frank Entertainment Companies, said the building’s owner has to complete its work and “turn the space over to us prior to us doing our work.” “Once the space is turned over, we can complete our work in 90-120 days,” he said.
Menin Development, based in Palm Beach, Fla., is the owner and developer of that 66-acre former mall property. The company acquired the old Greenville Mall site on Woodruff Road in March 2007 for $52 million. Frank Entertainment is the second tenant to announce plans to locate in Magnolia Park. Rooms to Go purchased nearly 1.3 acres at the Magnolia Park last year with plans to build a 35,000-square-foot super store on the site, Menin said.
Frank Entertainment officials said Superplay USA offers an entertainment and dining along with a state-of-the-art family playground. The company said its Greenville location will feature 34 lanes of bowling, laser tag, an interactive game room, sports bar, martini bar, party rooms, and a billiards room. Albertson said Greenville is a good location for Superplay because demographics show it has a lot of young families and young adults with high education levels and good incomes. Also, he said, there is no venue similar to Superplay in Greenville, “let alone one with this level of fit and finish.”
