The Ritz Theatre opened in 1939, with seating listed at 800. The theatre was owned by Fred T. McLendon and operated by Affiliated Theatres, a subsidiary of McLendon Theatres. The building was rather plain, a red brick building with a flat attraction panel on the side facing the parking lot.
The Ritz Theatre closed in 1985 and is now a performing arts center.
