In describing the planned Fishers development named The Yard, the most common phrase has been “culinary and entertainment.”  We have heard and read a lot about the concept of food and restaurants, including a part of the development for chefs to experiment, but the description of the entertainment aspect has been very general.

When The Yard received a unanimous favorable recommendation from the Fishers Plan Commission Wednesday night for a proposed rezoning, I talked to Attorney Steve Hardin of Faegre, Baker & Daniels, who represents the developers of the project,  about the entertainment side of the planned development.

Based on information provided by Hardin and Eric Wojak of developer Thompson Thrift, the entertainment part of the development will be a movie theater with a dining option. Wojak says work continues with the vendor and there are no further details available beyond that.

So, moviegoers and film lovers will await the details of what type of cinema, and dining, will be available at The Yard.

The Yard is planned near I-69 and 116th Street, near the IKEA building already under construction.  The new IKEA store is expected to open in the fall of 2017.
