The Village Theatre open on Charlotte's suburban west side in 1966 and was the last single screen cinema built in the city. It was fairly basic inside and out but had some good first run movie exclusives in its early years.

It was twinned in the 1980's but the neighborhood declined and the theater closed. The building still stands and has been adapted inside for a variety of different uses over the years.

Owned and operated at one time as part of the Stewart and Everett Theatre chain which also operated the Capri Theatre that was located on Independence Boulevard.

Was twinned in the mid-1970's and closed its doors in the early 1990's.

Stuart & Everette Theatres from 1966 thru 1986 and then Carmike Cinemas from 1986 until it closed.

The Village was one of several theaters that were built as part of a rapid expansion of the Stewart & Everett chain in the mid-1960s. Five were built in 1966 alone. According to items in Boxoffice Magazine, the Village and at least one of the other four were designed by Charles L. Wheatley & Associates, a Charlotte architectural firm. It seems likely that the firm designed all of the S&E houses during this period, but Boxoffice fails to confirm this.

The January 10, 1966, issue of Boxoffice said that construction of the Village was about to begin and that completion of the house was expected by June 1. The theater was to have about 800 seats.
