    Next up for us in Jackson: an Ed's Burger Joint with a rooftop bar. Reopening the historic Capri Theatre with reclining seats, full bar, & a food menu. We're also opening a 10-lane bowling alley, a full-service restaurant/bar, and a tiki bar. Be on the lookout in the fall of 2020

    Mississippi ranked #2 in the nation for real GDP growth. $1.27B added. Let that sink in. This isn’t your grandfather‘s Mississippi. Let's go. #MSproud

    Great news. The Capri in Fondren will show the MSU-Arizona game on the big screen with high def and Dolby 7.1 sound. FREE! Dawg fans will be able to sit in recliners & order cocktails, beer, & food, from their seat & watch the Dawgs on the largest screen this side of Davis Wade.

    Construction in Fondren is in full swing. The Capri theatre will have reclining seats, a full bar, and apps. Highball Lanes will have 10 lanes, & a restaurant and bar. The Pearl is a tiki bar. And Ed’s Burger Joint will have a rooftop bar. We are fired up. Look for us this fall.
