Waldorf, Md. AMC location to receive upgraded amenities, including seating and concession area
AMC Theatres® (AMC) is proud to announce plans for a significant renovation of the AMC Loews St. Charles Towne Center 9, providing a significantly upgraded moviegoing experience to guests in the greater Waldorf, Md., area.
AMC will invest more than $4.5 million on the renovations, which will provide enhanced presentation quality for guests, as every auditorium will be converted to a Sony 4K digital projection experience and feature state-of-the-art speakers. Other modifications to the theatre include a renovation of the theatre's restrooms, as well as changes to the box office and lobby area. Guests will also enjoy movies from new power leather recliners on platforms, as well as an upgraded concession area.
"The renovations and the amenities we're adding will elevate the AMC Loews St. Charles Towne Center 9 theatre to one of the nicest in the nation," said Mark McDonald, executive vice president of Global Development at AMC. "From the seating to the concession area to the movie presentation, everything will be state-of-the-art."
AMC is also evaluating the possibility of adding an IMAX auditorium.
"We're always looking to enhance St. Charles Towne Center for our loyal shoppers," said Stephanie Mosier, mall manager. "We are thrilled with the renovation at the AMC Loews St. Charles Towne Center 9 and see it as a complement to our property and the great and growing market we serve."
The theatre will remain open during the conversion, and the auditorium, restroom, lobby and concession area renovations are expected to be complete by the summer of 2012.
