Roseshire opens in Henrico with gaming, live music and a restaurant
Table of Contents
Roseshire gaming parlor opened its doors Monday morning in Henrico County despite opposition from local leaders who fought to prevent the new facility from launching so quickly.
Located in the Staples Mill Shopping Center, the parlor features a restaurant, live music and 175 historical horse racing terminals.
Parent company Churchill Downs invested $35 million to build Roseshire and expects it to create around 100 jobs.
Shirley Laverne McMillan of Chesterfield County and Takka Dixon of Henrico were among the people who stood in line before doors opened.
"I am so excited about it. I was always going to the one of Midlothian, but now this one's right here. Right around the corner from the house," Dixon said. "Here's a place where we can have fun. We can enjoy ourselves. Nice, clean fun."
