| | Boxoffice Magazine Special Report: BUILDING AN EMPIRE, The Maritime Chain Is Doing Swimmingly in Atlantic Canada (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | For the past 21 years, Empire has focused its energies throughout its markets in Atlantic Canada, encompassing the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, a zone known as the Maritimes. |
 | | Empire theatres are in markets "from 350,000 people down," he adds, with "the majority in much smaller markets." However, filling theatre seats is usually not a problem; instead, Fraser indicates that the circuit's localization has helped the chain to develop close ties with the community. |
 | | The expansion of new facilities, the renovation of existing facilities and the continual training of employees are Empire's strategies to achieve this end. |
