Yakima Theatres introduced their plans for a $3.5 million entertainment venue last week at a news conference hosted by Yakima Theatres President Kathi Mercy at the former location of Uptown Plaza.
The new business was said to be both a movie theatre and pub and will premiere with their 100th Anniversary celebration in August of 2012.
According to the company’s press release, “this venue will truly take the out on the town experience up a notch.”
The new venue is set to be at the same location as Uptown Plaza was, 202 E. Chestnut Ave. Multiple movie screens are planned but will be a more intimate film experience compared to their other theatres in the valley.
Patrons visiting the theatre will be able to order menu items from the pub while watching films. The venue is also limited to the over 21 crowd, making it a different kind of movie watching experience.
