The fire that destroyed the Grove Theatre in Honey Grove started in the projection booth on May 29, 1959 destroying the theater. That makes May 28, 1959 the last day of operation. Joe Jones moved from Honey Grove to manage what would become the Preston Royal Theatre later that year.

The Grove Theatre opened on June 7, 1950, as reported in the June 24 issue of Boxoffice. The house was operated by Tri-States Theatres and was designed by Dallas architect Raymond F. Smith.

Manager Joe Jones, according to Boxoffice, had gotten his first job in a theater at the Bon Ton in Honey Grove 34 years earlier.
