Hey,

A theatre that I do some work for was recently bought from Regal/UA by Village Theatres. I have never heard of them before and was wondering what anyone on this forum knew about them. I found their website and they only have theatres in the Chicago metro area. The theatre that they bought is located in Gautier, Mississippi.

Thanks,
Rick

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

While I'm not posting here to defend certain individuals of that chain, I always got paid by them and on time. Down payments for equipment were also always paid to us without question. Of course all this was long long ago in a city far far away.

Without elaborating I can only second what Steve said regarding these "people" whom I seriousy doubt were the folks Mark delt with in the past. Be very, VERY afraid!! [Eek!]

Well Rick,

I hope this does not turn out to be Rand Theatres II for you. But definately continue to prob into these people to see where there coming from and where they may be heading. I found out the hard way with EFW.

It does bring back memories of Rand.
