The Grandin Theatre is a cultural icon in the Roanoke region. If you think about a montage collage poster of a place, in Roanoke, it’s the H&C Coffee sign, the Mill Mountain Star, and the Grandin Theatre marquee. 

Executive Director of the Grandin Theatre Foundation, Ian Fortier, says the theatre is 92 years old and is the first talking cinema house in Roanoke. In Grandin Village, it’s the economic, geographic, and historic anchor.
