Cinémas GRAND ÉCRAN

Cinémas GRAND ÉCRAN is a long-standing family-owned company with headquarters in Limoges, Haute-Vienne, and a base in Bordeaux, Gironde. The company has maintained its total independence over four generations. With a broad approach to cinema, it offers diverse programming from mainstream to art house films, including organizing events like festivals and publishing a bimonthly journal, "ZOOM," dedicated to Art and Experimental films across all its sites. The group's cinemas are located in the west of France, in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Pays de la Loire, and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. They have strategically developed medium-sized cinemas (5 to 8 screens) to complement existing offerings without upsetting the balance. With a strong focus on internal funding and optimized financial management, the group is successfully entering smaller markets. As of the end of 2025, Grand Écran will operate a total of 109 screens across 15 cinemas in 15 different cities, catering to approximately 2.5 million visitors annually. Recent endeavors include the inauguration of a 6-screen cinema in Langon, Gironde in October 2019. Moreover, the company has plans for 6-screen cinemas in Montaigu-Vendée and La Chapelle-sur-Erdre, with projected openings in 2024, along with a 5-screen project underway in Fontenay-le-Comte. With a rich history dating back to 1924, Cinémas GRAND ÉCRAN has demonstrated resilience and adaptability in the ever-evolving cinema industry landscape. As the company continues to expand and innovate, it presents intriguing opportunities for potential investors and venture capitalists to explore.
