Yes, it was operated by Dubinsky in the 80s until they sold out to Excellence ca 1988, and then Carmike (after they bought Excellence).
More commonly known as the “Valley 3 Theatres” and later the “Carmike Valley 3”. Closed August 25, 2001 according the a Des Moines Register article (“Carmike To Close 3 Iowa Theatres”), the mall was remodeled at least twice and the space was occupied by retail, then a restaurant “Kahunaville” which had it’s ribbon cutting celebration on July 25, 2007. Became Ocean Beach Bar & Grill circa November 2008. More information about the mall can be found here:

Actually I believe the ownership was the other way around. Operated by Dubinsky circa 1988, closed by Carmike (circa 2000?).
