ABOUT MOVIE TAVERN LP

Movie Tavern is the largest and fastest-growing operator of cinema eateries in the United States and the only one with plans for nationwide expansion. Jeff Benson, his wife Jamie, and his life-long friend Dennis Butler were owners of traditional cinemas prior to opening their first Movie Tavern in Ft. Worth, Texas in 2001. In an effort to provide food, drink, and customer service that historically has not been provided by traditional cinemas, the trio developed a cinema-eatery concept that combines fullflavor and high-quality food and drinks, friendly service and first-run movies at this first Movie Tavern. In 2005, the company was recapitalized with the addition of a major equity partner. Their successful management of the concept has expanded the network of Movie Tavern locations to eleven theaters in major United States markets and 87 screens.
