Ritz Cinemas
West Valley City, Utah
Carmike Cinemas opened the Ritz Cinemas and Hollywood Connection Family Entertainment Center on 20 November 1998. The 165,000-square-foot complex was part of an “entertainment mecca” which included the Hale Centre Theatre and the West Valley City E Center (now the Maverick Center.) In addition to 15 movie screens, the Hollywood Connection included a carousel, roller coaster, bumper cars, miniature golf, skating, arcade, restaurant, ice cream parlor, and laser tag. Carmike's goal was to have enough entertainment under one roof so families wouldn't have to go around town.

Businesses struggle with loss of student workers as school begins
Tooele Transcript-Bulletin, 17 August 2007
Article Summary:
Local businesses will be hit hard as teens and college students leave their summer jobs to go back to school. The Tooele Cinema 6 theaters will lose so many workers and patrons that its operating schedule will be forced to change in September. The theater will open at 4 PM on weekdays instead of noon.
"It can be hard to deal with when kids leave, but school does come first and you just have to work around it," said Gary Lund, Cinema 6 general manager.
