Help Save a Family Run Movie Theater, Only One in Central Coast City

I love going to family owned theaters, and I love going to the Park Cinema Theater in Paso Robles. First, if you haven't been, the park and square in Paso Robles has almost a "Hill Valley" feel with their iconic downtown "Courthouse Square." But this is real. There are many great shops and restaurants all around the square, and of course there's a movie theater where they play first run movies. It was a perfect place to spend the evening. The Park Cinema Theater is the only one in the city of Paso Robles, a city of over 32,000 people and a booming city for wine tourism. But with the onslaught of Covid-19, the days of the theater may be numbered. 

The owners of the theater, the Roush Family, have put out a desperate call for help. An open plea for them to save their theater, which has been operated by the family since James Cameron's Titanic sailed on the screen. They have set up a GoFundMe account with the hopes of raising a quarter of a million dollars to help save the theater. They also have a lot of other ways you can help support the theater in these unprecedented times. Such as:

  • Purchase Gift Cards now and receive 10% bonus or 15% for cards over $500. 
  • Purchase popcorn and sodas between 2:00pm and 7:00pm daily! There are several promotions you can get, check their website for details. 
  • Hold a private family and friends screening at the movies! You can even play video games on the silver screen. It is $20/person and a minimum of $200. This includes drinks and popcorn!
  • Give directly through GoFundMe. 

Please consider helping this business, who also greatly support local charities. Visit their website and GoFundMe pages for more information.
