Cinergy Entertainment Group will crack into the Charlotte market with a movie theater location in north Charlotte. Cinergy Charlotte will open this spring with 10 state-of-the-art theaters offering luxury recliner chairs with heated seats and swivel tables. It also offers a chef-inspired, in-theater dining menu and an extensive bar menu featuring draft beer and craft cocktails.
The location, at 5336 Docia Crossing in the Prosperity Village Shopping Center, was previously home to Studio Movie Grill, which announced in August it was closing the 52,000-square-foot operation. Studio Movie Grill opened there in late 2019 — just before the pandemic hit. The chain later filed for bankruptcy and could not strike a new lease to reopen in Charlotte.
“With so many businesses being closed due to Covid, it is special to be able to restore a wonderful entertainment venue for friends and families to come back together,” says Traci Hoey, vice president of marketing.
Privately held Dallas-based Cinergy Entertainment is a regional operator of eight luxury cinema and entertainment centers in Texas, Oklahoma and North Carolina with 75 screens.
