I can't help but feel the need to respond to a recent comment that has been left by a community follower of the blog. He brought up the New Discount Theatre at Fiddler's and I thought I would give you a little back ground and insight. I hope this helps...You can also read his comment on the last Blog post (Thank you Kevin Stein).
Westates Theatre's is a prominent theatre here in Cedar City. I have not lived here long enough to know or even understand why they shut down the "Twin Theatre". And that really isn't even the issue. But to settle the communities minds we new this was coming back in early January. "The boys" spoke to Westates owner and Westates threw out his threats to us and has even sent us a letter that offered a lawsuit if we try to compete with him. :) We have Attorney's lined up and are not afraid of a fair fight. We don't feel we are competing with him but he is scared-we do know that. Westates has even said they would hold their movies longer so that we would not have access to them.
But what I can tell you is that everyone loves a FIRST RUN movie. Kyle and I go and support Westates almost every weekend. That is our date night. We love the movies. I don't believe they are going to lose out on business on the first run-unless we offer more personable, friendly service :) We really aren't trying to compete with them. Our vision and love for this "Historic Theatre" is to bring back the downtown. Yes, we want it to be profitable and hopefully the community will sense our desire to offer an EXPERIENCE at the movie Theatre for their families.
It is kind of funny after all these years they finally adjusted their Theatre to make it more affordable for the community but just know we are not interested in boycotting anyone. I mean that is how America was founded-Capitalism. Good clean business fun.
So with our heads and hearts held high we will move forward--and like I tell my girls, "We can act like the step-sisters on Cinderalla or we can act like Cinderella-with grace and poise and move forward, never looking back.
Thank you for the comment Mr. Stein and thank you for your concern.
Everyone have a great Presiden'ts Day Weekend--Pictures coming soon!!!
