Here's a story that's all too rare amid all of the recent news of store
closings,
layoffs and corporate
exits -- now-independent TheaterXtreme franchises are doing well in the wake of the parent company's Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The linked story tells a story of entrepreneurial franchise owners who broke from the parent company after experiencing evaporating support, and have since adopted a "customers first" attitude on their way to growing business. We can't imagine why the corporate offices didn't take the advice to get into products central to custom home theaters like lighting control and distributed audio, but thankfully these franchises had an eye on the ball and decided to break ranks. Kudos to these owners who focused on delivering quality to customers and came out on top.

I recently was in the Pittsburgh store. http://www.txpgh.com They seem to be doing well.
The staff were knowledgeable and very helpful. I will be upgrading my theater in the
near future and they have earned my business

It’s unfortunate that this has happened… the good news is that even though the parent corporation has had it’s troubles the individual franchise locations (now left on their own) have thrived in certain locations.
Our company has been assisting the Sacramento (Roseville) location with their marketing and advertising (TV & Print production and placement)since they opened as the newest Theater Xtreme store. Over the pst few months they have been the top producing franchise in the nation! a true testament to the value of keeping a visible presence to your target clientele during a tough economy.
We have just launched their new website http://www.theaterxtreme.tv which breaks from the look/feel of the other locations (which take a clear ‘storefront/retail’ mentality) in favor of a very high-end/custom design and interactivity.
Theater Xtreme is alive and thriving! (at least in Northern Ca)
Of course if you are a franchise looking for help in this tough economy - feel free to contact us at http://www.c2mediaservices.com or me personally at dave@c2mediaservices.com
