Property Description
Historic DeMarce Theater – Turnkey Entertainment & Investment Opportunity
Unique opportunity to own the fully refurbished DeMarce Theater, a turnkey entertainment venue located in downtown Benson. The building occupies a (41' x 130') city lot and is commercially zoned, offering excellent visibility and versatility for continued theater operations, events, or entertainment use.
The theater features a welcoming 30' x 34' lobby with a fully equipped concession area including popcorn machine, butter dispenser, refrigerator, freezer, pizza oven, nacho cheese warmer, chip and pretzel warmer, mini-donut oven, food carts, candy carts, and digital menu display screens. Two Square POS systems with card readers and printer are included.
A major bonus to the property is the active food, beer, and wine license, allowing expanded concessions, private events, and additional revenue opportunities.
The auditorium seats approximately 156 guests in comfortable rocker chairs with cup holders and also includes 12 tables and chairs for flexible seating arrangements. A rooftop air conditioning unit was installed in 2023.
The theater includes a 16' x 30' screen and a new 2025 Barco SP2K-9S Smart Laser digital projector, along with a professional 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound system featuring QSC audio components including amplifiers, stage speakers, surround speakers, and an 18” subwoofer.
Additional building features include a basement under the lobby (30' x 34') with electric water heater, projector room, office space with bathroom, and storage areas.
The property also includes an income-producing apartment currently rented, featuring 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, hardwood flooring, washer and dryer, electric stove and refrigerator, split heating and cooling unit, and separate 100-amp electrical service.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase a fully operational theater with updated projection equipment, seating, concessions, and built-in rental income. Ideal for an owner/operator, entertainment group, or investor looking for a unique downtown destination property.
