The resort will also feature 50 different stores and dining facilities that will be leased out to interested parties. Their plan includes the development of a 90,000-square-foot casino, a 25,000-square-foot sportsbook, 90,000 square feet of dedicated space for children, and a hotel with between 600 and 1,000 rooms.
More details were shed on Friday about the casino resort plan by local businessmen Jim McGlothlin, CEO of the United Company, and Clyde Stacy, President of Par Ventures.
As reported by Casino News Daily earlier this week, the development of a casino resort at the site was one of the possibilities considered by the new owners. The United Company and Par Ventures, with both of them being local businesses, bought the vacated Bristol Mall earlier this year. The new owners of the former Bristol Mall in the city of Bristol, Virginia provided on Friday comprehensive details about their plan to convert the vacated building into a casino resort that is expected to attract more than 3 million visitors after its first five years of operation.
