Frankie's of Charlotte Is Now Open

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C., December 6, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Frankie's is excited to announce that its Charlotte location is now open. The company officially opened the doors last Thursday, Nov. 29. This is Frankie’s fifth business in the Carolinas. The company has three additional locations in Charleston, South Carolina (opened 1990), Columbia, S.C. (opened 1994) and Greenville, S.C. (opened 1999), and one location in Raleigh, North Carolina (opened 2005).

Frankie’s of Charlotte is unique in that it is by far the largest family entertainment facility that it has ever built and one of the largest on the east coast. The park sits on 20 acres and has 84,000 square feet of indoor entertainment space.

"We are proud to bring new jobs and careers to the Charlotte/Huntersville area. We have hired 213 employees through Nov. 30 and plan on hiring an additional 100-150 before our peak season hits next spring and summer," said Stuart Wallace, marketing director of Frankie's.

"Our company prides itself on providing a positive work environment with above-average wages, health insurance, 401 (k) plan, paid time off and many other benefits that help us grow our Frankie’s family," said Wallace.

The park has many attractions including Charlotte’s largest arcade. In the laser tag arena, two teams compete head-to-head in a post-apocalyptic Charlotte. The towering Drop Zone features multiple 30-foot drops that overlook the entire arcade. The Fun House is a massive three-story playground that will keep the kids amused for hours. Everyone from kids to adults can also enjoy the LED-illuminated bumper cars.

The Dark Ride is a fully immersive 7D motion ride that will keep people coming back for more with four different movies available. The Hologate is a state-of-the-art VR experience that pits four combatants against a common enemy to see who posts the top score.

Outside, the 20-acre park features Pirate Island Golf consisting of three unique 18-hole miniature golf courses where no two holes are alike. The three custom-designed go-kart tracks are The Road Course, a quarter-mile track for the whole family, The Slick Track that will put drivers' racing skills to the test against other drivers and the new Drifter Track, with its hairpin turns, will challenge even the most experienced of drivers.

If rides are more someone's style, the tea cups and swing ride are two nostalgic rides for all ages. Swinging a full 360 degrees, the high-flying Discovery will have riders hanging upside down nearly 60 feet above the ground. The Mega Disk’O has riders seated on a saucer, spinning and traveling up and down a giant half-pipe.
