Opening brings the mixed-use development to 100 percent occupancy as summer gets underway


WHEELING, Ill., June 21, 2022 - With summer officially underway, Wheeling Town Center is welcoming Cinergy Dine-In Cinemas, opening this July. The 40,000 square foot, seven-screen state-of-the-art movie theater, located at 401 W. Dundee Road will open in the previous CMX CinéBistro location, providing a luxury, dine-in theater experience.

"Cinergy Dine-In Cinemas was the missing piece in making Wheeling Town Center a living and family destination with it all," said Joshua Goldstein, President of The Lynmark Group, Wheeling Town Center's developer. "You can visit – or live steps from – this vibrant town center complete with amazing food, unique movie experiences, and entertainment for family and friends, all in one central space."

Operated by Dallas-based company, Cinergy Entertainment Group, Inc., this latest addition completes the Wheeling Town Center, bringing the mixed-use development to 100 percent occupancy as summer gets underway.

"We couldn't be more excited to expand to Wheeling this summer," says Traci Hoey, Vice President of Marketing, Cinergy. "Wheeling Town Center is beautiful, and we can't wait to bring friends and families together with our new entertainment venue."

Cinergy Wheeling marks Cinergy's ninth open location, which will offer custom experiences, including recline-and-dine cinemas, wait staff with online ordering, a selection of alcoholic beverages and chef-inspired American dishes, and a spacious sports bar lounge area. The venue will host monthly sensory friendly screenings of family friendly movies for guests with sensory sensitivities, featuring brightened lights, lowered volume, and more space to move freely in the auditoriums. Cinergy will also host family events including French toast breakfasts, a ticket to a children's movie, and meet-and-greets with movie characters.

"It's great to see Wheeling Town Center bring back something that truly made it unique," said Jon Sfondilis, Wheeling Village Manager. "Once the cinemas officially open, the town center will be a year-round hot spot."

The opening is a timely addition to the variety of restaurants and free summer activities that have already kicked off this summer at the Wheeling Town Center.
