Cinergy majority owners are successful entrepreneurs, Jeff & Jamie Benson. The Bensons used their vast operational knowledge of traditional cinemas and movie grills when creating the Cinergy concept. Jeff Benson, CEO, has always been a visionary and leader in the theatrical exhibition industry. Cinergy locations are the first-of-its-kind in this hybrid class of dine-in theatre and family entertainment centers. The Bensons believe that hybrid dine-in cinemas/family entertainment centers will become very popular nationwide now that the success of their concept has been proven.
The Bensons started in the exhibition industry by constructing two traditional cinemas branded “Driftwood Theatres” in Granbury and Marble Falls, Texas, the first of which opened in 1999. They also founded the Movie Tavern chain of dine-in theatres. The first Movie Tavern opened in Ft. Worth in 2001. In 2005, the Bensons recapitalized the company by entering into a joint venture that allowed Movie Tavern to become the largest and fastest growing operator of dine-in theatres in the United States. The Bensons sold their interest in Movie Tavern in 2008. At the time of the sale, Movie Tavern operated 98 screens in 12 complexes in 5 states. Cinergy started just one year later in 2009.
