Town Crier Articles

 

The Holtgrieves, Dave and Paulette of Charlotte Park, are bargain shoppers and they take delight in finding a new deal. It could be food, or fun or furniture. They know how to do it, and they do it well.

 

In this occasional series (when they find something they like, they’ll let us know), we focus on a couple of the special deals offered at Movie Tavern.

 

More people went to a movie theater over Labor Day than at any time in the previous two years.

 

Despite all of the streaming, HBO, Starz, Cinemax, Disney+, etc., there remains nothing like seeing a movie in the theater. Viewing a captivating film, in a crowded, emotionally invested theater, remains a singularly wonderful experience.

 

We don’t have an array of theaters to choose from in this town, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if ours rarely, if ever, promoted a lower-price package.

 

However, Movie Tavern on High Street has a different idea.

 

Their program is called “Magical Movie Rewards.” There is no fee to join, and the benefits are, frankly, pretty amazing, we feel.

 

You receive one point for every dollar you spend at the theater, concessions and drinks included. When you reach 100 points, you earn a $5 credit. In the meantime, you receive 50 points for your first transaction upon joining, free popcorn on $5 Tuesdays (admission to any flick that day is five bucks), free refills on fountain drinks, and invitations to free members-only movie screenings.

 

In addition, there are no fees for online or mobile ticketing, and you’ll receive emails with other periodic special offers.
