Star Cinema Sets Sights on June Opening
The owner of the Arlington Heights theatre has spent millions on a complete transformation of the site, and plans to open more suburban locations, according to the Daily Herald, and is now looking to hire between 70 and 100 employees.
When Star Cinema Grill, 53 S. Evergreen, opens it doors by mid-June, patrons who frequented the former Arlington Theatre will likely be in for a surprise.
Star Cinema Grill Vice President of Operations Gustavo Vazquez said the company has spent millions on a complete transformation of the theatre, including a new ticket window, white tiled floors, leather movie seats and a bar in the lobby, among other changes, the Daily Herald reported.
Because of the extensive renovations, according to the Daily Herald, the previous 1,500 seat auditorium has been reduced to 700. Full price tickets will cost $10.50, with lower prices for matinees.
