Cineworld to open new Wembley multiplex
UK cinema operator Cineworld Group has secured an agreement with property group Quintain Estates and Development for a multi-screen venue at Wembley City, London.
Cineworld, which was founded in 1995 and runs nearly 80 sites in the UK and Ireland, has agreed a 25-year lease for a nine-screen cinema adjacent to Wembley Stadium and Wembley Arena. Capable of accommodating 1,800 people in total, the new cinema is scheduled to open in 2013 and will form part of the 280,000sq ft (26,013sq m) Wembley City leisure and retail hub.
Cineworld chief executive officer Steve Wiener said: "We are delighted to have been chosen by Quintain to be the cinema operator for Wembley City. Wembley is a vibrant development and the Cineworld cinema will be the first in the area for thirty years." Quintain deputy chief executive Nick Shattock added: "Located next to the Arena, the new cinema and all its surrounding restaurants and shops will become a major new destination for visitors and local residents."
Construction work is due to get underway in 2013, while Quintain is already in discussions with prospective restaurant operators for a space adjacent to the cinema.
