PRESS RELEASE


(Memphis, TN) Thursday, January 10, 2019 – Memphis-based Malco Theatres is pleased to announce luxury recliner seating and upgraded amenities at the Jonesboro Towne Cinema (formerly Hollywood Cinema).

”We are excited to bring these new amenities to the Jonesboro market. For over 50 years we have been a proud member of this community and feel like it is our second home, said David Tashie, Senior VP of Operations.  “Our emphasis has always been on quality and we have always stressed the importance of staying ”ahead of the curve” in sight and sound technology.
