“We ship our screens internationally for renowned world-class cinemas, as
well as for local installations literally down the
street from our headquarters and production facilities
here in Arizona,” said Toby Severtson, CEO of Severtson Screens. “Besides
supplying eight cinema screens for its latest location near us in Queen Creek,
we also supplied FatCats with eight cinema screens in their Mesa, Ariz.
location and six cinema screens in their Gilbert, Arizona location just a few
years ago. FatCats is a terrific environment for the entire family, and we are
proud to continue to help our local economy and customer base by being a part
of such great venues.”
Working with RU Theatre and Southern California Cinetech
Services, the Queen Creek location’s
Severtson Screens installation consists of seven Stellar White cinema screens
ranging from 16ft. x 30ft. to 29ft. x 53ft., and one silver 24ft. x 44ft.

This is FatCats’ ninth
family entertainment location nationwide, and third in Arizona. Besides its
eight theatres with luxury all-reclining seats featuring first-run films, the 61,000
sq. ft. FatCats’ Queen Creek, Ariz. location also includes a 20-lane BPAA league-certified
state-of-the-art bowling center that is
transformed in the evening into “Thunder Alley”, a high energy bowl-for-fun
experience complete with a live DJ and game host. The location also includes a mini
glow-in-the-dark golf course, a huge 50-game
arcade and redemption store with the latest and most popular games and prizes
for kids and adults, a delicious, high-quality new menu with food delivered to
one’s seat or lane, virtual reality bays and VR games/rides, and a full-service
bar.
“In our state-of-the-art
Queen Creek FatCats, we have once again gone with Severtson Screens because we
value the unmatched quality and longevity of the screens Severtson produces,”
said David Benson, Development Partner, FatCats Entertainment. “FatCats chose
to expand to the town of Queen Creek because it is a great community that
complements our FatCats values, not to mention the perfect spot for year-round
fun. The City of Queen Creek is growing quickly and FatCats wants to be a part
of something truly special.”
RU Theatre is a full
service theatre installation company based in Charleston, SC. RU Theatre
works domestically and internationally installing seats, sound systems, wall
coverings, and screens.
“RU Theatre was happy to
learn we would be installing high gain cinema screens made by Severtson Screens
at FatCats’ newest location in Queen Creek, Ariz.,” said Colin Hendrickson,
owner, RU Theatre. “FatCats commitment to delivering a dynamic entertainment
venue to its customers is made that much better by using the best screen,
projection, and sound offered in its theatres. We work with Severtson
internationally, so getting a chance to see them work as a local manufacturer
was a great experience. This project was staged perfectly because of all
the things we have come to expect when working with Severtson Screens: great
communication, quick delivery, and quality customer service.”
Added Michael Golin, CEO of Chatsworth,
Calif.-based Southern California Cinetech Services, “We’ve worked with
Severtson for many years and they are the ideal company to supply cinema
screens for FatCats. Besides being local to FatCats’ Arizona locations,
Severtson prides themselves on being the most customer service-oriented
manufacturer in the industry while providing state-of-the-art screens for
nearly any and every application on an international scale. Working with
Severtson is stress free and our customers are always thrilled with the end
result.”
In 2001, the doors
opened for the very first FatCats in Provo, Utah, featuring state-of-the-art
bowling, billiards, arcades, movie theaters, great food, and family
entertainment under one roof. Since then, FatCats has grown to nine locations
across four states, and each location hosts corporate, family, school, and
charitable events, as well.

theaters in countries all over the world, including the United States, Mexico,
Canada, Korea, Japan, Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, Spain, Germany, France, New
Zealand, Australia, Netherlands, Thailand, Scotland, China, Russia, and many
