White-Spunner Construction is thrilled to announce that our project, Dave & Buster’s Newest Prototype, has been honored with a 2025 BuildSouth Award by the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of Alabama.

This recognition celebrates excellence in construction, innovation and the successful collaboration between teams. We’re proud to be recognized among the best in the industry.

Dave & Buster’s newest location in Mobile, Alabama, represents a significant milestone as the first ground-up store to feature the brand’s innovative new design package. Completed in December 2024, this 31,000-square-foot facility combines cutting-edge entertainment with modern construction and design, serving as a vibrant destination for South Alabama, Mississippi and Northwest Florida.

The project involved the complete development of a 6.1-acre wet site, which required elevating the land several feet to achieve the final grade for the building pad and parking pavement. Extensive site work included grading, storm drainage, utility installations and landscaping. The site development also incorporated 294 parking spaces to accommodate the high volume of expected guests.

The building was constructed using a steel column and beam structure, with exterior finishes including colored stucco, corrugated metal panels, storefront glass and integrated color-changing lighting. Inside, the facility features a full-service dining area and a 200-foot U-shaped sports bar, anchored by an impressive 40-foot-wide LED screen for an immersive viewing experience. A 12,000-square-foot arcade floor showcases the latest in gaming technology, while rental social bays offer small groups exclusive access to activities such as digital darts and supercharged shuffleboard. The social bays, located near the bar, provide guests with the best of both worlds by combining games with full food and drink service.

The flexible events space, located off the dining area, can be enclosed with rolldown glass garage doors, making it ideal for private parties and corporate gatherings. The most exciting addition to the facility is the pair of D&B Arenas, fully immersive arcade rooms featuring touch-sensitive walls and floors. These arenas provide action-packed, fast-paced games for up to six players. Adjacent full-service dining areas allow waiting parties to enjoy food and drinks while anticipating their turn.

We are deeply grateful to the AGC of Alabama for this recognition, and we want to thank our project partners, subcontractors and the client for their trust and collaboration.
