Grand Cinemas was originally formed as a family business in 1928 and through its history has been one of the great innovators in the West Australian cinema industry.In the days when a night out at the movies meant a trip to the city, Grand Cinemas was at the forefront, with a group of great old theaters in the heart of Perth. Then came the Drive-Inn era, and the company expanded through Perth's suburbs with a string of popular cinemas.Later movie-goers opted for the old trend of heading back into the city for a night out. This created another turnaround in the company's focus and the advent of multi-screen complexes. Grand Theaters was again a leader with the construction of the Cinema City opposite the Perth Town Hall.Source: this is an extract from the company website.
