Kumasi City Mall, the Ashanti Region\u2019s most fancied destination for affordable one-stop shopping and recreation, has added another powerful attraction to its irresistible menu of entertainment \u2013 Ghana\u2019s first world-class \u2018Watch-and-Dine\u2019 Cinema.<\/p>\n

Shoppers, plain revelers and of course, ‘movie and chow’ freaks in the Ashanti Regional capital, all said a big \u2018thank you\u2019 to Kumasi City Mall and W&D Cinema Limited, when four executive state-of-the-art movie theatres, all fitted with deluxe furnishing and superior acoustics and image projection, were unveiled for public use over the weekend.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The \u2018Watch-and-Dine\u2019 Cinema concept is an outright novelty worldwide and features a delightful fusion of the comfort and coziness of a plush movie theatre, with the pleasures of nourishment derived from a good restaurant or eatery.\u00a0\u00a0All four screens at the cinema are 3D and projections are made with High Definition imaging equipment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we have here at KCM is an uncommon concept even in the advanced countries. It is the best anyone can get of two worlds \u2013 a movie theatre and a restaurant – rolled into one. KCM\u2019s \u2018Watch and Dine\u2019 happens to be the first of its kind in West Africa and is already ranked as the 13th<\/sup>\u00a0on the list of highly rated cinemas around the world!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Osei Agyemang-Duah, Managing Director of W&D Cinema Limited told reporters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Agyemang-Duah said Kumasi City Mall\u2019s Watch-and-Dine is extremely classy and up to scratch that it has already been rated among cinema heavyweights like the AMC Dine-In in the United States, the Odeon Lounge in the United Kingdom and the Nu Metro Cinema in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The Cinema has four screens and a total of 330 seats, comprising 30 seats in a VVIP theatre, 56 Seats in a VIP and two standard theatres, with seating capacities of 137 and 107 respectively while the restaurant offers a lip-smacking variety of continental and local fast-foods. All four theatres operate seat reservation schedules for customers.<\/p>\n

Within just days of its opening, \u2018Watch-and-Dine\u2019 is already one of the mall\u2019s busiest locations – an irresistible haven for cinema lovers seeking to enjoy movies outside their homes and get to munch on some excellent gourmet. The cinema has become the talk of the town across Kumasi as a perfect rendezvous enclave.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, (management of Kumasi City Mall) are extremely delighted with the successful opening of Watch-and-Dine because it brings to our cherished shoppers and patrons another compelling reason to stay on before or after their shopping, to enjoy some quality recreational time here at the mall,\u201d said KCM\u2019s Marketing Manager, John Bedu-Bonsu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this, we (in Kumasi) are now streets ahead and claim full bragging rights for topnotch recreation over any other mall in the country,\u201d said an elated Tony Bediako, a resident of Kumasi, as he stepped out of the theatre after watching a 2018 movie starred by Liam Neeson.<\/p>\n

According to Kwabena Obeng, President and CEO of the Steaman Group and W&D Cinema, the facility will be officially commissioned on\u00a0February 10, 2018<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n
