Opened on August 1, 1986 under Cineplex Odeon Corporation and Plitt Southern Theatres. This 1,650-seat capacity multiplex cinema was complete with six state of the art widescreen auditoriums, with full widescreen projection that was capable of showing larger presentations in Dolby Stereo Sound. Luxurious plush seating in all auditoriums throughout, with advance ticket sales available for same day presentations and coming attractions. The theatre had its own front door parking. Cineplex Odeon operated this theatre until 1991 when Carmike Cinemas took over, and they closed it in 2000.
Bill Peebles, company manager of Ambassador Entertainment reopened the theatre in 2000 and had major renovations done in 2003. It plays a variety of films that include first run features as well as foreign and independent films.
