Garden Grove Entertainment Complex Planned
Plans were revealed for Starlight Cinemas West Grove, a 4.85-acre entertainment complex in West Garden Grove, CA. The development will encompass a 29,081-square-foot movie theater, part of an expansion and renovation of the original 11,000-square-foot 1974-era 4 Star Movie Theater, into a 10-screen, 650-seat complex.
Also planned are 7,700 square feet of restaurants, including a Jack in the Box and other casual dining options, in addition to an automated car wash, pedestrian walkways and parking.
The initial phase of work encompasses renovation of an antiquated four-screen building into a state-of-the-art, three stadium-style auditoriums featuring luxe motorized recliners and updated Dolby sound system, as well as a renovated lobby. Phase two will consist of redeveloping an adjacent bowling alley, converting and dividing the existing shell structure into restaurant space, and adding seven more auditoriums.
The project developer is Daniel Akarakian of Cinemas Management, Inc. and it was designed by Architects Orange’s AO Restaurant Studio.
