Melrose Enterprize bought out the land from the reality company and William Leatherbee pasted away three yrs later.
Boston Conccession was a partner of Melrose Enterprize and bought out the lease from Roxy Pichi after Roxy had won the battle to get all first run movies at the Triboro Cinema location paving the way for the Union to get first run movies quicker it all went to court and Roxy was to either take the pay off or when the lease ran out leave so it was a done deal and Roxy sold out two yrs eairly. Melrose Enterprize had all ready got permits to built 6 cinema there then they built 4 more and later added the other two making it a 12 plex Origiannly it was gonna be a 24 plex with stadium seating. However there were 5 partner that owned the Triboro, you had Melrose, Manasion,Boston Con,Demarios, and the film company that produced the horror pictures later on selling out the buisness to the reacent owners. and then it went to hell. fell apart and all Run Down i had run the projectors there a few time,worked conccession, usher and Asst manager in the eairly to mid 80’s However the Union was my home. til Roxy sold the Union theatre to Theatre Development Enterprizes Inc. then i became the Manager Projectionist..
