Winners Selected for Impact on Marcus Theatres’ Continued Growth
MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 8, 2017--
Marcus
Theatres®, a division of The
Marcus Corporation (NYSE:MCS), has announced its Vendor Partners of
Excellence for 2016. Each partnering organization will receive the award
in person at Marcus Theatres’ Spring Leadership Conference in Orlando,
Florida, on March 8. The 2016 honorees include STX Entertainment,
Screenvision Media, PepsiCo, Edward Don & Company, Royal Corporation and
Thomas-Grace Construction.
The company selected its Vendor Partners of Excellence based on the
substantial contributions they’ve made to Marcus Theatres’ business
during 2016 and beyond.
“Last year was a record-breaking year for our company. We owe much of
that success to our vendors, who are as committed to the business as we
are,” said Rolando Rodriguez, chairman, president and CEO of Marcus
Theatres. “From our state-of-the-art facilities to our high-quality food
and beverage offerings to the movies themselves, we could not present a
best-in-class experience without these invaluable partnerships.”
STX Entertainment has been named Studio Partner of the Year in honor of
its strong film product, creative marketing efforts and innovative
approach to the film and exhibition industries. Similarly, Screenvision
Media will be recognized for its partnership that enabled Marcus
Theatres to achieve significant year-over-year growth in on-screen
advertising revenue from 2015 to 2016. Both STX and Screenvision have
provided a strong on-screen complement to the premier entertainment
experience at Marcus Theatres.
In addition, the company will present awards to three organizations that
enhance the circuit’s food and beverage experience. PepsiCo, an
exclusive partner for more than 20 years, was selected for its
innovative and expansive line-up of beverage offerings, new technology
like the interactive Pepsi Spire 5.0 platform, and exclusive marketing
programs including a Super Bowl giveaway for a Marcus Theatres fan.
Edward Don & Company, a distributor of food equipment and supplies, will
be honored for its impact and ability to grow with Marcus Theatres’ food
and beverage business, which has expanded from just a handful of
locations in late 2012 to more than 30 outlets circuitwide. In addition,
Royal Corporation will be recognized for its partnership in maintaining
clean equipment and facilities that contribute to a consistently
positive guest experience.
Finally, Marcus Theatres will present Thomas-Grace Construction with a
Vendor Partner of Excellence award for its shared leadership in several
multi-million dollar renovations. A long-term partnership has enabled
the two companies to completely transform many Marcus Theatres locations
into state-of-the-art entertainment destinations under aggressive
timelines, including the construction of a brand new theatre opening
this spring.
