PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cinemark Holdings, Inc.

Set to launch in the summer of 2018, it will be built adjacent to the Century Arden 14 and XD, which opened less than a year ago.

"We are extremely excited to bring a Cinemark Movie Bistro to Howe Bout Arden,” said Raymond Syufy, CEO of Syufy Enterprises. “The Movie Bistro concept brings a completely unique experience to our local community and further differentiates HBA as being one of Sacramento's premier retail, dining and entertainment venues. We believe the Movie Bistro addition is a fantastic complement to our existing theaters and retail shops, and a testimony to the true strength of the Howe Avenue and Arden Way trade area.”
At the Century Arden Movie Bistro theatre, Guests will experience a luxurious and comfortable setting with cutting-edge technology and customer-preferred amenities including:
- Seat-side ordering and delivery from a full kitchen with delicious selections including fish tacos, pizzas baked in a wood-burning oven and an assortment of refreshing cocktails
