Hey, sounds kind of like Tyler’s…and then Oak & Dagger!

What exactly is experiential entertainment anyway (strip club jokes aside)? Like a movie theater or something? 21,000 square feet would possibly be big enough for a six-screen cinema if that’s what they mean.

A really tiny amusement park! (Or probably some IMAX theatre or whatever with vibrating seats)

Bowling alley maybe? I was thinking either that or movie theater myself.

A new age crystals and essential oils church?

Would be cool to land a Pins Mechanical bar. They would fill up 21,000 sq ft. Went to the one in Charlotte last summer and had a good time.

Also, Drive Shack has started building indoor puttery’s around the US. They’re roughly 20-23k sq ft. They just opened one in Charlotte. Not sure if they would do one here since they already have the DriveShack driving range location.

I read experiential entertainment as an “all-of-the-above” idea. Just something to attract people who want to do something after eating dinner / shopping / etc., that’s not just drinking. Some newer ones besides the obvious are VR experiences and interactive “art museums” like the selfie museum.

@JKK there’s an indoor putt-putt course in Garner, Par-tee Shack, that’s pretty fun.

Went to Pins and Puttery last weekend actually. Both were a blast. Either would be a great addition here

More clues from the site review submittal…

  • Probably not a movie theater with this column grid layout?

  • Ceiling height for this space is double height, roughly 27 feet slab-to-slab.

This is a great location for a Chuck E. Cheese.

That would be premier, the most prestige. Duke it out at Chuck E Cheese over some games with luxury pizza. Elevated times with futuristic, technological critter band.

From the TBJ, Hoffman & Associates announced that Block A of Seaboard Station will be complete in winter of 2022!

Construction for Block B is expected to start this summer, and be done in the summer of 2024. Block C “will begin construction following the completion of the second phase”, though, and it’s still under administrative review.

Have they shuffled their Block “letters” around or is TBJ confused? Originally, Block A was the old Sunflowers block on Peace St, B is the current one closest to completion and C was the old Phydeaux block.

I think they did -and they realized it, too, and quietly corrected that :sweat_smile: That paragraph now reads:

The classy, ethical thing to do would’ve been to add a blurb to say they made a correction and apologize for the mistake, but… :man_shrugging:

Random question: why are all new restaurants called ‘food concepts’ these days? What’s wrong with the word restaurant?

Or talking about their “beverage program”…it’s your drink list.
