EVO To Expand Katy Theater to 70K-SF Entertainment Center

EVO Entertainment acquired the former Xscape Movie Theater in the Katy-Fulshear market. The sale of the 55,000-square-foot theater building was brokered by Newcor’s Rob Banzhaf and Alexander Rizzotti, who represented the seller, Patoka Capital.

EVO Entertainment plans to expand the property into a nearly 70,000-square-foot entertainment destination combining a renovated cinema with dining, recreation and private-event offerings. Plans call for approximately 35,000 square feet of new family entertainment space featuring bowling lanes, more than 100 arcade games, laser tag, climbing walls, bumper cars, gravity ropes, a full-service restaurant and bar, and dedicated event space.

The existing cinema component is also expected to undergo extensive renovations, including the addition of two EVX premium-format auditoriums featuring Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos technology. Construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2026, with the redeveloped venue scheduled to open in summer 2027.
