CITRUS HEIGHTS, CA (MPG) – Arcade Monsters representatives held an in-person job fair last week to fill multiple positions at the former Sunrise Rollerland, 6001 Sunrise Vista Drive in Citrus Heights. The Oviedo, Florida-based company purchased the entertainment facility for $3.5 million this spring.

Banners hanging from the building’s roof advertised last week’s hiring fair, held Wednesday and Thursday from noon to 8 pm. The fair offered on-site interviews for “motivated, dependable, and enthusiastic individuals ready to be part of the Monster nation.”

Available positions which include management, guest services, kitchen staff, security, maintenance, cleaning and administrative positions are posted at: https://www.arcademonsters.com/join

Representatives for Arcade Monsters didn’t respond to a request for further details concerning a likely opening date of the new Citrus Heights facility, or whether another in-person hiring event would be held at a future date.

Arcade Monsters is currently turning a much-beloved Citrus Heights local institution into a glowing, art‑filled arcade and rink hybrid, with both nostalgic and cutting‑edge entertainment elements. Admission covers both skating and arcade attractions.

The new Citrus Heights Arcade Monsters is described by the company as an “Immersive, art-driven entertainment space where admission covers everything, including the skating rink, with arcade games set to free play.”

In a recent news interview, Arcade Monsters CEO Adrian Ravelo projected that the new Citrus Heights location would be “one of the most unique entertainment destinations in California.”

“Everything is gonna glow,” Ravelo said. “We’re bringing the best graffiti artists in the world, many from California, some from the East Coast, all over. These are the artists that all other graffiti artists look up to, and they’re all going to have murals in there that glow and are very special,” Ravelo said.

The Citrus Heights Arcade Monsters’ will be the company’s third location in California, following a 28,000-square-foot facility in Murrieta and a location in San Diego.

The former Sunrise Rollerland’s exterior has changed little since construction began earlier this summer. Its original medieval-style neon lettering remains above the main entrance lobby.

Earlier this summer, the Messenger was given a tour inside the building under the condition that no photographs be taken.

Within the former Sunrise Rollerland, multiple interior walls have been removed making the 26,736-square-foot building feel much bigger and less claustrophobic than it once did.

The entire historic rock maple roller link remains fully covered under paper as contractors continue their work on interior demolition and new electrical construction.

Colorful, day-glow murals inspired by graffiti cover three walls around the roller-skating rink. New gaming equipment is being staged in the front lobby, where a new mural also adorns the ceiling.

The general contractor has also placed large storage containers outside, parallel to the building’s front and between its entrances. Some former interior furnishings, including shoe rental lockers and round tables have been placed outside the building awaiting disposal.

Outside the front entrance, a faded stop-work review order sign which was issued in September by the city of Citrus Heights was visible next to a typed notice from the Neutz family, the former owners, thanking the public for their past patronage of the popular recreation facility.

The recent city stop work review order was triggered on the staff level due to zoning code signage standards outlined in Section 106.38.070 G in the city’s zoning code after public comment was initially received following the completion of a Manga-inspired mural along the length of one exterior wall of the building.

No further plan review by the Planning Commission was required and construction work resumed after the city approved the new mural.

The recent sale of Sunrise Rollerland in Citrus Heights included both the business and the entertainment facility that houses it a 2.82-acre parcel at 6001 Sunrise Vista Drive adjacent to Sunrise Mall.

Sunrise Rollerland, a unique part of Citrus Heights history, was previously owned and operated by the Neutz family for over 50 years before Ken and Kathy Neutz decided to retire. The couple purchased the rink in 2000 from Ken’s parents, who had owned it since it was built in 1973
