Harkins Theatres in Denver

Harkins Theatres opened its first location in Colorado in 2005, as one of the anchor tenants of Northfield Stapleton. Northfield is a retail complex located off I-70 with Target, Bass Pro Shops and other stores. Founded in 1933 in Arizona, Harkins Theatres operates 30 locations in five states as of 2012.

The Harkins Valley Art in Tempe, Ariz., is the state's oldest movie theater still in operation. Company founder Red Harkins designed the movie theater at the age of 25 in 1940, and the theater underwent a $1 million renovation in 2001. The company is still a family-run business, with Dan Harkins currently serving as owner and CEO. The firm is privately held.

In Colorado, Harkins Theatre operates an 18-screen megaplex, the Northfield 18.

Northfield 18 boasts one 70 x 30-foot screen in its largest auditorium, which seats 600 patrons. The theater chain also has a play area for children and a snack bar.
