Wehrenberg Theatres Rise From Family Roots To Drive-In Era
The Wehrenberg family built a movie theater empire starting with the Best Theatre in St. Louis, expanding through vaudeville to the first Wehrenberg drive- ins in 1948. Krueger describes growing up in the business and later naming the 20 screen Ronnies after his grandson. The chain stayed competitive by adopting new tech from Zeon bulbs to stadium seating and THX Dolby sound.
