Gamescape ‘on schedule’ to open next month Representatives for company say Gamescape will open in early July By Travis Hairgrove | Jun 8, 2026 Updated Jun 9, 2026

Greenville residents are closer to having a movie theater again as well as a new entertainment destination as Gamescape prepares to open its doors in early July.

At the Greenville Chamber of Commerce’s summer quarterly luncheon on Friday, representatives of Gamescape (a division of theater chain Cinemark) said they are “on schedule” to open “before the Fourth of July.” As such, the company is currently hiring staff and applications can be accessed online at https://tinyurl.com/mxxhpyuk.

Located on the recently-completed Abolwich Drive – a road connecting Sayle Street and Monty Stratton Parkway behind the Texas Roadhouse, Jersey Mike’s and Olive Garden on westbound Interstate 30 – Gamescape is the planned anchor for a retail center and will include eight auditoriums for viewing movies as well as an 18-lane bowling alley, video arcade, laser tag, a rock climbing structure, full restaurant and a sports bar.

As Gamescape goes through its remaining preparations before opening,

The Stainback Organization (the developer helming the Greenville Retail Center project) expects to be reimbursed an additional $2 million from the City of Greenville in exchange for completion of supporting infrastructure related to the construction of Abolwich Drive – such as erosion control, pavement, storm drains and water/sewer lines.

The Greenville City Council plans to vote on the reimbursment this Tuesday in accordance with the reimbursement agreement they entered with Stainback in June 2024.

Once completed, the retail center is planned to include more restaurants, an apartment complex, grocery store, storage facility and another anchor in addition to Gamescape.
