Omniplex Cinemas have announced the acquisition of the four-screen Ormond Cineplex in Nenagh with a smooth transition of ownership to take place this Friday, January 31st.
The move will secure the future of both the cinema and employment. Mark Anderson, Director of Omniplex Cinemas, said: “We are delighted to announce the acquisition of Ormond Cineplex in Nenagh. We believe that cinema is an important fabric to town communities, and we look forward to sharing our plans for the cinema very soon.”
Helen Gleeson from Ormond Cineplex said: “My father, Edward Gleeson opened the Ormond Twin Cinemas in the 1980s, continuing his dedication and passion for film, which began in the 1930s with cinemas in Cappamore and Kilmallock, Co Limerick. Edward is a great believer in opening the possibilities of life through the magic of film and, while sad to finish, is happy to know that the future of the cineplex is assured in the hands of the Omniplex Group.
“I would like to thank our 'Cineplex Family' of Billy, John, Angela, Patrick and Keelan (and Greg), who helped us run the cineplex, and the people of Nenagh and the surrounding areas for their support.
“I wish the Omniplex Group well in Nenagh and know that the support we received from the people of Nenagh and the surrounding areas will continue.”
Omniplex will honour valid Ormond Cineplex vouchers up to March 31st 2020.
