The Kapolei Commonsshopping center announced the addition of an entertainment complex to the existing area. The new space will add more than seventy-thousand square feet to the current location. Restaurants from Roy Yamaguchi, Gyu-kaku and La Tour Cafe will add more food options for shoppers.

Regal Cinemas will also open its first flagship theatre in Hawai‘i. The 56,600 square foot theater will feature twelve-auditoriums and serve as a focal point for the center.

Dinsmore says the expansion to the Kapolei Commons is expected to be completed around April of next year.
