The $24,900 price appears rather low for a movie theatre or any commercial building for that matter. Are there any people in this town that would attend a movie theatre?

That's a giveaway price, how small is this town?

According to the 2000 Census the population fo Wheaton is 1,619. It is located at the junction of highways 236 and 75. It is just a short distance form the border of South Dakota. Closest town to Wheaton is Dumont, Mn. Another small town about the same size as Wheaton.

Here is a link to a photo of the Gopher Theatre.

Wheaton is a lot bigger town then Dumont!! Wheaton is a very nice town with people who care about their town and take care of the memories. For you that say "that is a give away price" and "are there any people in this town to attend the movie" must have nothing to do but complain. We need to thank those who did buy the theater for they are giving this town and the people such wonderful memories. Maybe those of you should also go and see this theater and see for yourself what a great place it is and the town. Also, when this theater opened again, there has been lines of people waiting to get in. So, don't say things about price and "if" there are any people, because if you have not been there, you know nothing!!!!!
