Ritz Cinemas
West Valley City, Utah
Carmike Cinemas opened the Ritz Cinemas and Hollywood Connection Family Entertainment Center on 20 November 1998. The 165,000-square-foot complex was part of an “entertainment mecca” which included the Hale Centre Theatre and the West Valley City E Center (now the Maverick Center.) In addition to 15 movie screens, the Hollywood Connection included a carousel, roller coaster, bumper cars, miniature golf, skating, arcade, restaurant, ice cream parlor, and laser tag. Carmike's goal was to have enough entertainment under one roof so families wouldn't have to go around town.

Smart and chic Arrow Press Square is a fine example of making new attractions from old buildings.
. . .
Current developments in the area which have or are altering the appearance so drastically are:
—The Kilowatt Common and Arrow Press Square between First and Second South on West Temple. Just last week, the promoters of Arrow Press Square announced the acquisition of a fifth building which will be called "The Glass Factory." It will be renovated at an estimated cost of $250.000.
