Wellsville: Grand Theater cuts back on movie times

Facebook notice from the owner of Grand Theater on Main Street in Wellsville:
Listen up folks! 2 years ago, I came to you with regret that I was stopping the 9p.m. showtimes Sunday through Thursday due to lack of attendance and hoped that would help in lowering costs until business picked up again. Business has not picked up and due to rising costs more than what was faced 2 years ago I have no choice but to discontinue the 4pm matinees on the weekends. we will still offer the 2pm matinees Saturday and Sundays but effective immediately there will be no more 4pm weekend matinees again unless I see an increase in attendance. I hear every day how nice it is to have a local small town theatre here in Wellsville but it doesn’t stay here without good customer support and like any business you don’t want to see leave the area, it rely s on your continued and repeated patronage to cover overhead costs and make it worthwhile for an owner to put in his or her time. I hope this reaches many and sends a wakeup call because all I’m gonna end with is, imagine this town without this theatre lit up. Please support and we thank and appreciate everyone that does as always.
