EDENS and AMC Theatres® Bring Reimagined Movie Entertainment to Park Road Shopping Center

CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- EDENS, a leading national retail real estate owner, operator and developer, and AMC Theatres®, the largest movie exhibition company in the world, is excited to announce that guest-favorite moviegoing is coming to Park Road Shopping Center in 2019.

"EDENS is very glad to be working with AMC to bring great movie theatre entertainment to this neighborhood," says Lyle Darnall, Managing Director of EDENS. "This has been an active theatre since 1964, and we know the Charlotte community values that history. We have great local retail partners, and now – with AMC – we are bringing the complementary, elevated entertainment this community deserves."

The theatre will undergo a period of renovations, which will incorporate new design elements and movie-going amenities, including the wildly popular AMC Signature Recliner seating. The renovations will also give the theatre a completely refreshed look and feel, while preserving the historic nature of the building.

Park Road was originally built in 1956 and was acquired by EDENS in 2011. With nearly 400,000 square feet of retail and restaurants, AMC will join other Park Road local and national retailers, such as Shake Shack, Midwood Smokehouse, Blackhawk Hardware, Flour Shop, CAVA, J. Crew Mercantile and Suarez Bakery. EDENS also owns and operates a number of other successful retail community gathering places in the area, including Atherton Mill, Kenilworth Commons and Myers Park.

AMC Park Terrace 6 is slated to open in early 2019.
