B&B Theatres stands for Bills and Bagby, two families that both launched movie theatres and joined forces-for business and love. The history of B&B stretches back to 1924 to our first theatre in Salisbury, MO. After years of roaming rural Missouri with films, projection equipment, seats and snack bar, and screening movies in barns, schools, and parks, a circuit of drive-in and indoor movie theatres were established. It was not until 1980 when the Bills and Bagby families cemented decades of friendship by formally joining their two theatre companies into B&B Theatres. In 2014 B&B Theatres purchased Dickinson Theatres, a local Kansas City theatre circuit dating back to 1920. Now in the fourth generation of the family business, B&B has seen countless advances in sound, projection, and the overall movie theatre experience. Today, B&B operates 49 theaters in 9 states and is the 6th largest theatre chain in America. For the full story, be sure to visit https://www.bbtheatres.com/about/.
