Never got a chance to attend this theater. I remember that it closed very suddenly with the marquee stating "Closed for Repairs". It was operated by the Commonwealth Amusement chain. Needless to say, it never reopened. After it closed, several Greeley area residents wrote The Greeley Tribune newspaper, very angry that they were not issued refunds for the punch cards they had purchased and never given the chance to use.
It was sold in June of 2001 by property owner Janet Jerome to Longmont realtor Donovan Glassburn. It functioned as a church for a short while. Half of the building is now occupied by a liquor store.

This theater opened as a twin, so the theater name at the top of the page ought to be revised to reflect this.
The Wilshire Twin opened on October 20, 1972. The debut attractions were “Where Does It Hurt?” and “Cancel My Reservation.”
Also, before being operated by Commonwealth Amusement (as mentioned in the intro at the top of this page), this was run by The Cooper Foundation (1972-74) and Cooper-Highland (1975-78). Commonwealth acquired the Cooper properties in ‘78.
Wonderful info, Michael! It was indeed always a twin…I forgot to check that when I listed it.
Could someone please get the number of screens changed to Twin?
