Goodrich Quality Theaters has filed for bankruptcy. For the kids, Bob Goodrich is the former owner of WVIC/Lansing, WODJ/Grand Rapids and WSNX/Muskegon-GR.
From WZZM-TV:
Goodrich Quality Theaters (GQT), a West Michigan-based theater chain, filed for bankruptcy in federal court in Grand Rapids.
The theater chain has 31 movie theaters in five states; the majority of the locations are in Michigan.
GQT owes its creditors between $10 million and $50 million, according to the bankruptcy filing. Its assets are listed at being valued at $50 million to $100 million.
The chain is owned by Bob Goodrich.
The Grand Haven 9, Ada-Lowell 5, Hasting 4, Holland 7 and Kalamazoo 10 are all owned and operated by GQT. It is headquartered in Grand Rapids.
In January, a discrimination complaint was filed against GQT after teenage employees said they were fired for being under the age of 17. A petition was also started to bring attention to that claim; it has more than 10,000 signatures.
The first GQT theater was started in 1930.

Goodrich has the sweetest nieces and would post them as avatars. He would tell us all stories.

Yup, mea culpa.
Probably not a good idea to do that anymore, what with all the #metoo stuff going on.
