Report: Wehrenberg Theatres looking to sell

Posted online
Wehrenberg Theatres, which owns 15 movie theaters in the Midwest, including one in Springfield, is looking for a buyer, St. Louis Business Journal reports.

The St. Louis-based theater chain informed its approximately 800 employees in November of its plans, according to the journal; UBS Investment Bank is leading the search.

Wehrenberg would likely sell for about $30 million, private investment banking firm The Douglas Group told the journal. The company has received offers in the past and is considering a sale because the theater industry is consolidating, the journal reports.

The 102-year-old chain, owned by the Krueger family, operates Campbell 16 Cine in Springfield, in addition to other theaters in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota.
