The big picture
Article Abstract:
A new generation of movie theaters, called megaplexes, has become immensely popular among Canadians and is revolutionizing the Canadian entertainment industry. These theater complexes can be found nationwide and feature extra-comfortable stadium seating, upscale concessions and ten to 30 screens showing the latest motion pictures. Several of these cinemas have even established impressive arcades and a few feature sit-down bar facilities. These megaplexes are attracting restaurant operators, many of whom are locating units near these movie theater centers.

Article Abstract:
College and university foodservice operations are offering a wide range of meal-time programs to meet the more sophisticated demands by the students. Operators have incorporated more student input in meal planning and adopted dining trends such as marche-display cooking stations, branded concepts, health-food options and eatertainment events. Greater off-campus options also spurred operators to offer better foodservice programs.
