Bolingbrook Promenade to feature new dine-in theater

The Promenade in Bolingbrook will soon see a new movie theater tenant to replace IPIC Theaters.

Star Cinema Grill signed a 15-year lease for the approximately 42,000 square-foot location, according to a news release. The Houston based dine-in theater concept will bring first run films, an extensive menu and a full-service bar opening this spring as it expands its Illinois footprint.

“We’re focused on continuing to bring the right mix of new tenants while retaining those that make the Promenade Bolingbrook a destination for the community,” Kristine Kuchler, the Promenade’s general manager, said in a statement. “A theater is paramount to holding our value with our guests as a top choice for their entertainment needs.”

Star Cinema Grill will offer what it called state-of-the-art cinematic technology and a modern food and beverage experience. Upgrades include new premium recliner seats, all with seat heaters, as well as available full service beverage and dining.

The theater will also feature Star Cinema Grill’s premium pod seating, which has added amenities such as privacy walls, blankets and priority food and beverage service.

The Promenade in Bolingbrook is located at 631 E. Boughton Road along the Interstate 355 corridor and is owned by Starwood Retail Partners and managed by JLL. The property hosts more than 60 retail and dining options including Macy’s, Bass Pro Shop, Victoria’s Secret, Ulta, Ted’s Montana Grill and Mago Grill & Cantina.
