Guzzo, 49, is the president and CEO of Cinémas Guzzo — the largest movie operator in Quebec, with 141 screens and 10 locations, and the third-largest in Canada. In addition to airing on TV, the première will be shown Thursday evening at the Guzzo Mega-Plex Lacordaire in St-Léonard, in an event that’s free and open to the public. Guzzo and the other Dragons (except for Dickinson) will be there to meet and greet viewers. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Guzzo had heard Dragons’ Den was looking for investors, “and I let them know that I may be interested,” he said in an interview. “It was a collision of great minds.”

He said he was welcomed into the Den with the other Dragons “without any issue.” Although “we are all very different,” he added, they got along well during the taping of the season’s 20 episodes over a three-week period this past spring.
