EVO Entertainment Group
Austin-based EVO Entertainment Group is the nation’s leading and largest operator of cinema-entertainment centers with a portfolio of brands that includes EVO Entertainment, EVO Cinemas, EVO Live, Elevate Rewards and ShowBiz Cinemas. Originally launched in 2014 with a vision of reinventing the movie-going experience, the company has since evolved into a leader of creating experiential entertainment destinations that offer a broad slate of activities including films, lanes, games, and attractions like climbing walls, virtual reality, ropes courses, and bumper cars, while serving elevated cuisine from their scratch-kitchens and bars. EVO has quickly grown from one location in Central Texas to 19 locations across 5 states, with more on the way, making EVO the fastest growing cinema-circuit in the country, nearly tripling in size in the last year. The company currently employs 1,000+ team members and entertains 8 million+ guests annually across 164 cinema screens, 129 bowling lanes, and more than 45,000 square feet of gaming and attractions space. With a relentless focus on an elevated guest experience, EVO has a way to play for all ages.
