| - Oh Harkins Park West, how I love thee.
My family considers watching films to be one of our bonding experiences. I don't camp and my four boys don't like getting their nails done, so our options are limited. So to the movies we go!
We live in Surprise and literally pass Digiplex on our way to Harkins. We ignore the AMC at the much nicer mall in Glendale. Nope. It's only this theater for these people.
Why? Because it keeps movies FUN and affordable. Harkins wants customers to enjoy their experience and so they make it reasonable.
We purchase the popcorn shirt every year for $20. That makes popcorn free for the rest of the year. It pays for itself in four visits. For a small fee we can upgrade it to an extra large and get the free refill. We also buy the souvenir cups which pay for themselves in two visits. So if we do the math, my family of six can get full concession for only $11. That is CRAZYTALK.
If you make the matinee, you also get a price break. Last week, we watched a film and it cost $39 for all of us purchase tickets. So $50 for a family of six to see a new release movie and have large sodas and popcorn! I cannot do that anywhere else.
The concession here has popcorn powders and self service for the necter of the gawds, butter flavored popcorn oil grease stuff. I literally leave a trail from the machine to my seat. I am 12 trapped in a 45YO mom body.
At the end of every film, there are lovely young people paid to be pleasant to you and take your trash. I think every business needs this model. I tried to get my teen a job here but the competition must be enormous. I have to pay for him to be pleasant all by myself.
On the rare occasions that I have had an issue, they are quick to resolve things to my satisfaction. I once misread the movie listing app and showed for a movie that had been discontinued and they offered me free tickets. Couldn't take them but I was impressed. I would rather we ignore my lack of reading comprehension than reward it.
Consequently, we have great feelers for Dan Harkins. Two years ago, I requested a donation from the company for my PTO event and they have us a framed print of a Twilight guy and four tickets. When my husband returned from picking them up he said that the building was filled with people collecting donations and he was really touched to see how much the company pours into the community.
So there you have it, why we are a Harkins family.
