Dallas-based Studio Movie Grill has been hard at work on construction to overhaul and upgrade the existing theater space at 5655 Colleyville Blvd. in time for summer blockbusters.  SMG's newest Dallas-area location, SMG Colleyville, is set to open next month just in time for X-Men:Days Of Future Past.  The 51,935-square foot establishment will be an upscale social destination, encompassing eight screens and over 1,100 seats.

Dozens of local construction workers have been hired to complete the conversion on the new complex, which will offer customers an enhanced movie-going experience. SMG Colleyville will house an upscale theater featuring spacious auditoriums with fixed lounge seats, individual dining tables and a contemporary casual entry and bar area.  The new SMG location will offer a true marriage of hospitality and lounge experiences as SMG continues to innovate fresh ideas into its concept.

"We are looking forward to offering not only the best in in-theater dining for local residents but also to becoming a true partner in the community and providing our new Colleyville neighborhood numerous economic opportunities," said Studio Movie Grill Founder/CEO, Brian Schultz. 

SMG is actively hiring team members and looking to fill a number of hourly positions.  Once hiring is complete the theatre will employ more than 200 team members.  Prospective employees are welcome to apply in person to General Manager, Kirk Richard, at the theater at 5655 Colleyville Blvd. Colleyville, TX 76304 from 10am-8pm or through the SMG website at www.studiomoviegrill.com

"We are thrilled to reopen the theatre as the SMG Colleyville," said Velocis Principal, Steve Lipscomb.  "The fully renovated theatre will greatly enhance the amenities we have in the area both for visitors and residents."

SMG is sure to be a major attraction and drive traffic to its new location. The concept has historically proven to be a boon to surrounding retailers through its ability to reinvigorate the area, provide advertising 365 days a year and increase the volume of customers to nearby establishments.
