Gotta Coffee

09/29/2026

I don't like asking for help. But last week, the work trucks and fire hoses in our parking lot came with a $54,000 bill for our sprinkler system. For a small theater like ours, that's devastating.

I panicked. I thought about selling, and I even cold-called a few potential buyers. Once I settled down, I decided not to sell. I love this place.

I won't be starting a GoFundMe. Instead, I'm asking: if Fort Kent Cinema matters to you, please become a member.

Not ready for that? Come see a movie instead of waiting for it to hit your favorite streaming service. Bring a friend.

Bring a ridiculous bowl to Bring Your Own Bowl Night on Thursdays.

Book a video game party on the big screen, or gather your friends for a karaoke singalong to your favorite musical.

The whole story is on our blog:

Good morning everyone, we are open. Amy starts her job today so everyone wish her a great first day!!!
Original plan was to stay open until the end of this week. Dependent on foot traffic we may stay open for one more week. So remember WE ARE CLOSING, not closed yet!!!! Also we plan to keep the trailer so you may see Gotta Coffee again someday soon. So come let our coffee set your day off right.

Great deal right now for those who would like to go to Summerfest. We hope to see everyone out there 😊

Apparently we’re doing SummerFest math this weekend, and this is the kind of math we can all get behind.

Here’s how BOGO26 works:

2 adults = $35 total
You buy one. We buy the other.

2 kids = $25 total
Same deal. One paid, one FREE.

2 adults + 2 kids = $60 total
That’s FOUR SummerFest tickets for $60. One adult and one child are FREE.

And then there’s TODAY’S Family Saturday deal…

Kids are already FREE today with an adult ticket, so there’s nothing left for BOGO26 to discount on the kids. Free is, unfortunately, as cheap as our calculator will go.

BUT adult BOGO still works.

And because apparently we’ve decided to make our ticket system do advanced mathematics, you can still catch whatever Daily Deal is running while BOGO26 is active.

A couple of important fine-print things:

BOGO26 is for online purchases only and ends 8/17.

VIP upgrades are not included in BOGO and remain full price.

So grab a friend, grab the kids, grab somebody who has been saying “I still need to get my ticket” for three weeks, and make the math work in your favor.
