Leighton State Bank is supporting the enhancements at Pella Cinemas with a $10,000 donation. The $400,000 project, which includes reclining seats, new carpet, and enhanced concessions options, is nearing completion. Pella Cinemas has been operated by Central College since 2016, and provides work-study and internship opportunities for students.
“Leighton State Bank places a high value on helping our local communities thrive, and that commitment made supporting the modernization of Pella Cinemas an exciting opportunity,” said Steve Fopma, LSB President & CEO. “We are proud to help make the movie-going experience more enjoyable while helping to keep dollars in our community. The real-world learning opportunities for Central College students who assist with the theater’s operations are just another great benefit.”
“The City of Pella is fortunate to have the unwavering support of its local businesses,” said Jade Dix of the Community Betterment Organization. “Time and again, organizations such as Leighton State Bank have demonstrated their commitment to fostering projects that enhance the quality of life for residents and create a thriving environment for businesses and families alike.”
