Winner: Santikos Entertainment
Various locations
www.santikos.com
Locally founded and locally owned, the Santikos Entertainment theater chain has everything a
movie-loving San Antonian could ask for. The regional chain puts an exceptional amount of care
into its facilities, where you’ll find amenities such as full bars and 18-and-up luxury theaters.
Further, Santikos’ eight local theaters are strategically spread across the city — from the
Palladium at I-10 North outside Loop 1604 to the Mayan on Southwest Military Drive — and,
unforeseen construction issues aside, they’re easy to reach. The company even operates cinemas
in Cibolo and New Braunfels.
