The Cozy Theatre :: Wadena, MNThe Cozy Theatre had its grand opening on March 10th, 1914. A woman named Ann Langer won a contest to name the new theatre. Her winning entry, The Cozy, won her the contest prize of $5. In May of 1938, The Cozy was closed for extensive remodeling. The roof was raised and a 200-seat balcony was added. The art deco marquee that is still in use today was added at that time. In 1986 a video store was added to the lobby of the theatre with over 2500 movies to rent. The video store closed exactly ten years later, in 1996, to make room for an expanded theatre concession area and the addition of a second screen.
