Caprice Entertainment was the company that built, opened, and ran this theatre until Landmark took over operations. My father ran Caprice’s Showcase 5 in Westbank at the time, and oversaw The Grand 10 construction.
The Grand 10 and the power centre it is located at, McCurdy Corner, were built on the site of a Flintstones theme park, which originally opened in 1968. It operated until its closure in 1998 after negotiations between the park’s then-owner and Hanna-Barbera over licencing rights to the Flintstones characters were unsuccessful. The park was later demolished to make way for construction of McCurdy Corner and the Grand 10.
The location’s pre-Grand 10 history is located here.
