The movie theater, on Ford Road near Sheldon Road, opened back in 1999. It has gone through different name changes, previously known as "Canton 6" and "Canton Cinemas."

The theater is a Goodrich Quality Theater and says gift cards will be accepted at any GQT theater after it closes.

Fans of the theater have been sharing memories on the theater's Facebook page all week.

"Jessica Tashman I saw my first movie in this theater, Beauty and the Beast. I'm going to miss you, Canton 7. Thanks for the great memories." - Jessica Tashman
