In October 2001, the Drexel Theatres Group was proud to have a hand in bringing downtown movie-going back to Columbus. The Arena Grand Theatre, a state-of-the-art 8-screen all-THX upscale theatre, is located in the exciting Arena District. The theatre was managed by the Drexel Theatres Group until January, 2007. In November 2005 the Drexel Gateway Theater opened at the South Campus Gateway project near the Ohio State University campus. The Franks were proud to include this wonderful theater in Drexel Group of specialized cinemas in Columbus until March of 2008. The Columbus Dispatch named the DREXEL THEATRE number two among the "ten best art blessings" in Columbus. As the only entrepreneurs in the top ten, we are proud to be recognized as an important component in the Columbus lifestyle. Help us stay in the top ten -- BE A REGULAR DREXEL THEATRE PATRON! See you at the movies!
