Guzzo Group wants to protect its 500 employees

Although the Guzzo Group is currently in turmoil, it’s reassuring its employees and customers about the upcoming year.

In a statement released Monday, the Guzzo Group said it is committed to “protecting nearly 500 jobs and preserving the livelihoods of our employees, who are the heart of Cinémas Guzzo.”

A few days ago, “La Presse” reported a decision by the Superior Court that placed the company in liquidation – with calls to sell its assets to repay creditors.

The Guzzo Group, however, retains control of the operations in its screening rooms.

“The last few months have been marked by challenges for our organization, amplified by significant media attention. Despite this, we are determined to focus our efforts on concrete solutions,” said the Guzzo Group. “We are actively working on a restructuring and recovery plan to adapt to the growing challenges of our industry.”

The group noted that its theatres remain “fully operational,” except for the Des Sources branch in Dollard-des-Ormeaux – which has been permanently closed since the beginning of December.

“Our goal remains clear: to rebuild on solid foundations and continue to deliver an exceptional entertainment experience to our community,” added Guzzo. “We remain committed to pursuing our mission with resilience and innovation, and to serve our customers with excellence.”
