Malco Owensboro Cinema is scheduled to open in Gateway Commons in late spring and recently posted online it is now accepting applications for several positions.
Positions that are currently being hired include kitchen, food runner, doorman, box office and usher. The online application says that most employees will be asked to work nights and weekends.
“We are looking for enthusiastic, hardworking, customer-oriented, movie-loving candidates who excel in customer service,” said Karen Melton, vice president and director of marketing for Malco Theatres.
According to Malco Senior Vice President of Theater Operations and Construction David Tashie, the new building will feature 14 theaters, one of which will be a large format auditorium.

Moviegoers will also have a full grill and bar (beer, wine and mixed drinks) menu available. Owensboro Times found this Malco Grill menu on the theater’s website. Tashie also said delivery food service will be available, where menu items will be brought to customers by Malco employees.
Interested applicants can apply online here and will need three references.
