B&B Theatres Dodge City Village 8

Operated by B&B Theatres, the Village 8, located in Village Square Mall, became listed in International Motion Picture Almanac 2000. The Dodge City Daily Globe remembers the theatre as being built inside the mall in a closed Woolworth store.

The Daily Globe reported the Village 8 reopened October 9, 2015, after being closed for remodeling. The improvements included leather electric recliners, new carpets, drapery, new aisle lighting, upgraded concessions and a bar. The theater currently screens RealD 3D.

B&B Theatres noted in 2022 they are the fifth largest theatre chain in North America and operate 513 screens at 55 locations in 14 states.

B&B Theatres history from the Chanute Tribune, August 2006: “Sterling Bagby joined Bills Theatre in 1936 as a concession operator. Following WWII, Bagby and his wife, Pauline, formed their own theater company, the Bagby Traveling Picture Show, which led to a group of indoor and drive-in theaters".

“In the 1980’s the Bills and Bagby families formally merged theater operations after years of an informal association creating B&B Theatres. B&B Theatres reputation as a true family operation was cemented when Pauline and Sterling Bagby’s son Bob married Amy and Elmer Jr. Bills' daughter, Bridget. Sterling Bagby died in October of 2000".
