Santikos to build theater on West Side ::
Commercial News Update               

Locally-based Santikos Theaters is resurrecting plans to build a 16-screen theater on the San Antonio’s West Side.

The Granada Theater will be located at the southeast corner of Loop 1604 and Portranco Road. It will feature an exterior and interior design inspired by Granada, Spain, and will be equipped with the latest digital technology, state-of-the-art sound and stadium seating.

Development costs for the planned theater were not released.
The theater had originally been announced in 2004 with an expected opening date in 2005, but the project never got off the ground. This time the company is expecting better results.

“The Granada has been a labor of love and we are thrilled to be advancing our progress in expanding to the West Side of San Antonio,” says Alexis Smith, director of marketing for Santikos.

The theaters main lobby will include a cafe serving Starbucks Coffee and an entertainment area with video games and facilities for birthday parties, meetings and special events.

Santikos currently operates seven theaters in San Antonio and one in Tomball near Houston.
