Edmonton will soon be host to two Cineplex Odeon VIP theatres.

The Canadian entertainment and media company announced plans Tuesday to add four specifically designed VIP auditoriums and a licensed lounge to the Cineplex Odeon North Edmonton location, 14231 137 Ave. NW, to go along with the city’s only other VIP Cinema location in Windermere, which opened in 2012.

Construction on the new adult-only VIP theatres is already underway and is expected to wrap up in the fall.

“We are always looking for new ways to enhance the movie-going experience and ensure that guests of all ages have a variety of entertainment options to choose from,” Cineplex president and CEO Ellis Jacob said in a news release Tuesday. “Our VIP Cinemas are a great way for adults to take time out of their busy lives for a well-deserved break and, with the addition of a brand new menu we just rolled out nationally, it’s safe to say the north Edmonton community is in for a real treat.”

The theatre will remain open during renovations and will be renamed once construction is complete.
