CRANBERRY TWP — The Cranberry Cinemas movie theater off Freedom Road is set for an expansion after the township’s board of supervisors approved the project at a meeting Thursday night.

The theater will expand by more than 6,000 square feet and will take over the neighboring property, which used to be a Subway restaurant. With the addition, the theater will gain two more screening rooms complete with stadium seating.

Although the theater will lose several parking spaces as part of the expansion, developers will add shrubbery and sidewalks to the front of the building as per the township’s street enhancement initiative.

In addition, a crosswalk will be added to connect the Cranberry Mall to the new Sheetz store across the street.
