Perhaps the best part of a visit to Highland's Town Theater is the intermission break that comes half way through each movie. The Janowskis use this break to treat their guests to a large table of free pastries and coffee.

"People tell us that they really like the intermission. They sure do go for the cake and cookies," concluded Janowski Sr., noting the tradition was started by the original owner shortly after the theater opened its doors.

"People like having the opportunity to get up and stretch their legs, use the restroom, grab a smoke outside, and not have to worry about missing any of the movie while they do it."

The wide array of delicious pastries is brought in fresh daily from Almira's Bakery in Hammond.

"People appreciate when a business thinks enough of them to give something back," summed up Ted Jr. "We do everything we can to let our customers know we appreciate their business. I think that's what keeps them coming back."
