The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Woodbury, which abruptly closed earlier this month, will reopen sometime later this summer.

The cinema, known for its arthouse films, expansive dinner menu and craft beer, will be opening back up as soon as possible, officials with the company posted on the Alamo Drafthouse Twin Cities (Woodbury, MN) Facebook page.

“After the sudden closure of our Twin Cities location by their former franchise owner, we are thrilled to announce that we have officially purchased and plan to reopen our Twin Cities theater,” officials wrote in the post.

The cinema closed June 6 after a Texas-based franchise operator filed for federal Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, according to news reports.

Employees of franchise operator Two is One and One is None said they were taken aback as they shared news of the closings on social media. Five of the six shuttered locations were in North Texas.

The Woodbury location will reopen as soon as the theater is ready, officials wrote in the Facebook post, adding that Alamo will be “making up for all the lost film, food and fun” that was missed during the closure.
