Circa 1946, courtesy GRPLThe Four Star Theatre was a single screen cinema located on S. Division Avenue in Grand Rapids from 1938-1969. It was operated by Butterfield until 1955 when B&J took over until it closed.
Marcus Ringnalda purchased the venue for ~$160k in 2017 at which point he announced the intention to restore and reopen it to serve the local community as a venue for live performance and event space.
