It was late November, 2011 when Steven
Hill, Vice-President of Marketing and
Employee Services at RKR Construc-
tion Company, was trying to get some
work done when the CEO of RKR, Ran-
dall Redding, sauntered into Hill’s office.
Redding had a vision. He told Hill about
the nearby shopping center where the lo-
cal Ingles store used to be located. The
conversation continued with Redding
stating that he was thinking about put-
ting a music venue in the former Ingles
store, and that he would like Hill to put it
together. “I think that I probably turned
white a bit and said something like I don’t
know anything about concert halls,” Hill
stated. “Randall did not stay in my office
much longer but simply uttered ‘let’s fig-
ure how to get it done.’ Music has always
been a part of who Randall is,” added Hill.
“My vision has always been to create a
place where people can bring their chil-
dren and enjoy a safe, friendly, family-
oriented, venue without any liquor, no
parking fees and great food. Our volun-
teers and employees are devoted to pro-
viding the best assistance and service to
our patrons. There aren’t any facilities
nearby that give customers the opportu-
nity to witness world class entertainment
at a price no other area venue can offer.
I draw upon my family restaurant experi-
ence where customer service was number
one,” Redding stated.
Not only is it a family oriented vision,
