Lavish Entertainment Center to Bring Pooler Big Business By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT
With a population of roughly 20,000, Pooler, Ga., has never been a destination city, but that could change with the addition of a family entertainment center that recently opened. Located at Towne Center Drive near welltraveled Interstates I-95 and I-16, the complex was constructed to serve both Pooler residents and out-of-town visitors. The reported $40 million Center features a roller skating rink, a bowling alley and a 350-seat IMAX movie theater with a 40 by 70 ft. screen. Developers also are discussing a 10-acre water park that could be operational by April 2014. According to Tony Coker, president of general contractor Coker Construction, the site includes Frames and Games bowling alley,
The one-story IMAX theater is 43-ft. (13 m) high with a price tag of just over $1 million.
The $40 million Center includes Frames and Games bowling alley, the 12-theater Royal Cinema and IMAX and the Sk8 City skating rink and restaurant.
Crews work on the parking lot at the Center, which the town of Pooler hopes will be fully used by citizens and passersby alike as the Center is expected to be a big draw.
the 12-theater Royal Cinema and IMAX, and the Sk8 City skating rink and restaurant. Construction on the 32,200-sq. ft. (2,991 sq m) Royal Cinema began in August 2010 and finished Feb 2011. The addition and the 11,000 sq. ft. (1,022 sq m) IMAX structure were built beginning in March 2012 and completed in September. “As always, the main concerns
in construction are deadline and scheduling,” said Coker. “The Royal Cinema has a dinner theater with a nice bar and a large lobby that has an unusual stucco finish that is a real focal point when you walk in. Construction actually went very smoothly, and we finished a month under schedule.” Coker explained, “It takes a lot see CENTER page 6

It also takes three times as much drywall as a normal building.” The building exterior is a stucco finish, while the interior is predominantly drywall and paint. “There’s a lot of carpet on the walls and on the floor. Also, on the floors, there’s stained concrete. The lobby interior is stucco finished.” Coker said the main challenges were height considerations and coordinating all the subcontractors to get the job done. “The bowling alley was very interesting. It’s a steel building with exterior stucco finish. It took a lot of scissor lifts and manlifts due to the high interior work. The actual bowling floor consists of six loads of tractor trailer trucks of material. Inside there is a party room, a large arcade area with laser tag and a grill/bar.
