The Marcus Corporation

The Marcus Corporation is an American publicly traded company headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, operating as a leader in the entertainment and hospitality industries. Founded in 1935 by Ben Marcus, the company's mission is rooted in a dedication to providing guests with exceptional quality and outstanding service, embodying its "People Pleasing People" philosophy. The corporate headquarters recently relocated and expanded to 111 East Kilbourn Avenue in Milwaukee, with the move completed in late spring or early summer 2024.

The company operates through two principal divisions: Marcus Theatres and Marcus Hotels & Resorts. Marcus Theatres is recognized as the fourth-largest theatre circuit in the United States, managing approximately 975 to 993 screens across 77 to 79 locations in 17 states. This division operates under brands such as Marcus Theatres, Movie Tavern® by Marcus, and BistroPlex®, offering modern amenities like stadium seating, digital sound, and innovative food and beverage options.

Under the leadership of President, CEO, and Chairman Gregory S. Marcus, The Marcus Corporation continues to strategically position itself in its core markets. The company reported its first-quarter fiscal 2026 results on April 30, 2026, surpassing analyst expectations for both earnings per share and revenue, largely driven by the strong performance of its theater division.
