Santikos Entertainment is adding bowling lanes, arcade games and more franchises to its new Braunfels cinema — a change the San Antonio company is making at its other locations, too.
Santikos plans to install 50 arcade games, eight bowling lanes, a sports bar and a larger food menu by this fall.
“We want to be your first choice for home entertainment in New Braunfels,” CEO Tim Handlen said in a statement.

Santikos and other theater chains have been adding entertainment options to attract more patrons and boost sales.
At the company’s Silverado Theatre, seven auditoriums will be demolished to make way for 14 bowling lanes, more than 60 arcade games, party rooms, a sports bar and new franchises.
Its Cibolo Theater opened in 2019 and features 16 bowling lanes, a laser tag arena, virtual reality and arcade games, as well as craft beer, cocktails and food.
Its other locations also have such offerings, a combination that will serve as a model for any new theater Santikos builds for it. The chain is eyeing locations at Texas 211 and Potranco Roads.
