Supercharged Entertainment Brings a Giant Indoor Go-Kart Venue to Polaris in 2027

COLUMBUS, OH — Polaris is getting a new reason to stay out late. Supercharged Entertainment broke ground on September 2 at 9300 Lyra Drive on a 125,000-square-foot indoor go-kart and entertainment venue, its first in Ohio, with a summer 2027 opening target. A building that size, with karting, a two-story arcade and a full restaurant and bar under one roof, will need a big crew to run it.

No hiring date has been announced yet. That makes now the time to get ready, before the first wave of postings lands.

🏁 What's Coming to Lyra Drive

Supercharged calls the Polaris build the world's largest indoor, multi-level karting track. The plan is two separate temperature-controlled tracks that can be linked into one long course, with 25 elevation changes and electric karts, so it runs the same in January as it does in July.

Around the track sits nearly everything else a group night out needs: a two-story arcade with close to 180 games including virtual reality, an interactive attraction called Time Mission with more than 30 challenge rooms, an indoor drop-and-spin tower ride, a full-service restaurant and bar, and rooms for birthday parties and corporate outings.

🏆 Who's Behind It

This is not a first-time operator. Stephen and Sandra Sangermano, a married couple, already run Supercharged venues in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Jersey, where their Edison location opened in late 2022. Columbus will be the company's fourth U.S. site. For a job seeker, that matters: an operator with three venues already running has training, scheduling and shift systems in place rather than figuring it out on opening weekend.

💼 The Jobs a Venue This Size Needs

Supercharged has not published a hiring timeline or a job count for Polaris, so we won't invent one. What we can describe is what a place like this runs on.

Karting floors need track marshals, safety briefers and kart technicians. The arcade and attractions need guest service and game-room attendants. A full restaurant and bar means line cooks, prep cooks, servers, bartenders and dish crew. Party and corporate bookings mean event coordinators and sales staff. Add front desk, maintenance, facilities and a layer of shift leads and managers. Expect heavy evening and weekend shifts.

Hiring for a summer opening typically starts months ahead, with managers first and hourly crews closer to the date. Treat this as a 2027 opportunity you can prepare for now.

🗺️ Why Polaris Keeps Adding Jobs

The site sits in the Polaris leisure cluster off I-71 and Polaris Parkway, next to Topgolf and Smash Park and a short drive from Polaris Fashion Place. It draws workers from Westerville, Lewis Center and Worthington, and experience at neighboring venues translates directly.
