I believe that the Friday’s Plaza was the first theatre built under the Cineplex Odeon banner in the metro Atlanta area. Although this circuit had a less than stellar reputation in the city, it does deserve credit for both reintroducing atmospheric theatres to the Atlanta area and I believe, the first chain to have Dolby in all of its auditoriums. The Friday’s Plaza, Northlake Mall and the Merchants Exchange were far more appealing than the stale worked over mini cinemas that cluttered the area during the 1980’s and early-1990’s.

Alonzo, has this building been demolished as listed in the header or is it being rehabbed as part of the Tilly Mill Crossing?
No Chuck, This theatre has not been demolished.
Thanks Alonzo, Ken needs to change the header to just closed.
thanks guys for the pictures.
Fridays Plaza has undergone a beautiful renovation. My family enjoyed years of the cineplex! We often drive by to reminise on the good days. Hervys Chicken & Salad opened 2009 but is temporarily closed. A mens clothing store with very fine mens wear is coming soon. An upscale restaurant is also coming Jan 2011. The location is bad but the potential is great! We miss the old Friday Plaza!
The pictures bring back really good memories. Thank you!!
When I first got married, this was my “little cinema around the corner.” We could walk there and did quite a lot. It was a fun shopping plaza in the early 90’s and we were sorry to see it decline.
