NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-One of the most noticeable victims of the pandemic was North Platte's movie theater.
As residents continued with their lives, it felt strange not to have a movie theater. No popcorn buckets, no midnight showings, no movies on the big screen.
But, that will soon change.
Golden Ticket Cinemas has announced that they will soon be opening a location in North Platte.
A source tells the Post that the theater will be located at the North Platte Mall, and final plans will likely depend on the mall redevelopment project getting the go-ahead. The North Platte City Council will hear a first reading of the plan, which was approved by the Planning Commission last night, at the May 18 meeting.
Golden Ticket offers a luxury theater experience often only found in larger cities and operates in small to mid-size communities.
In addition to luxury seating, the theaters offer a full dine-in experience with a variety of sandwiches, burgers, pizza, and wings, along with beverage options for kids and adults. The traditional theater goodies are also available.
While no official date has been announced, the plan is to open sometime in 2021.
Golden Ticket has locations in Kearney and Scottsbluff, as well as in Minnesota, South Dakota, North Carolina, Mississippi, Montana, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, and Kentucky.
