MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) - It is the Mid-South's new one-stop shop for fun: Main Event is a 50,000 square foot facility, complete with entertainment and dining.

"We have 111 games. We have laser tag, billiards, a full-service bar and restaurant," Main Event district manager Wes Marks said.

Based out of Dallas, Texas, Main Event is expanding and expects the new Bluff City site to be a family favorite.

Just in time for the holidays, the business also brings more than 100 jobs.

"We will be very busy here in Memphis, and we're really excited about it," Marks said. "We think we will be a great fit for the community here."

Other features include a gravity ropes course and virtual arcades.

Opening specials start under $10 for a 2-hour video game spree.

"We have a price for any budget," Marks said.

Main Event is located right off Interstate 40 at 7219 Appling Farms Parkway, Memphis, TN 38133.

"We want everybody to come out and have a great time and keep coming back," Marks said.

Doors open to the public December 11.
