Cinergy Entertainment Group already has six locations, mostly in West Texas, and said in a press release it plans to open another 10 U.S. locations over the next three years with the help of commercial real estate firm JLL.

Cinergy is intent on bringing the company's entertainment hubs to major U.S. markets, with its sights currently set on Atlanta, Chicago and Memphis.
