Alamo Drafthouse Cinema opening first Florida theater in Naples at Mercato: What to know
Dave Osborn | Naples Daily News
Naples soon will become home to Florida’s first Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.
The Austin, Texas-based cinema eatery chain confirmed July 24 what has been speculated for weeks: It will replace Silverspot at Mercato in North Naples.
“We’re really excited not only to provide a great cinema experience for the area, but to introduce everything that makes us different from other theaters in the Sunshine State,” said Alamo Drafthouse CEO Michael Kusterman in a news release.
Alamo Drafthouse officials are targeting an early 2024 opening, after it converts the space Silverspot has occupied since 2009. Silverspot ― which opened a year after Mercato did ― announced July 12 that it would close after July 23.
“Updates to the theater will include premium, reclining leather seats, a revamped bar experience, and a theme celebrating cinema’s greatest golf films,” the news release said.
The Naples location will be in 33,652 square feet of space, “with 11 auditoriums updated with approximately 650 newly-installed luxury recliner seats and 4K digital projection. Parking will be free and easily accessible at a parking deck located behind the theater.”
Alamo Drafthouse operates 39 locations in a dozen states.
