Expansion set for Arena Grand - Columbus Dispatch
January 17, 2007
By Mike Pramik
The Arena Grand Theatre is expanding and turning to a different management company to run it.
Columbus Hospitality will operate what by April will be an 11-screen theater across from Nationwide Arena. It will replace Drexel Theatres Group, which has operated the Arena Grand since its opening in 2001.
Nationwide Realty Investors, which owns the Arena Grand, plans to pump $1 million into the development, including three new theaters. A 60-seat theater will replace retail space that most recently housed a Ben & Jerry's shop. Two 48-seat theaters will be located in a building at 155 W. Nationwide Blvd.
