The Magnolia Mall in Florence, will have a Tilt Studios venue, with games, rides, tenpin bowling and other attractions.

The venue will offer local residents a local FEC facility that otherwise they would have to drive over an hour to obtain. Tilt has 13 locations across the US, part of the Nickels and Dimes group.

The JC Penney store had been on the site since 1987, covering over 100,000sq.ft, but closed last year.
