Opened by Cinecom Theatres Midwest States Inc. in 1971, this theater was carved out of a former Woolworths store in a strip mall. This shopping center, Gateway Plaza, was always a "b" center and this theater was never very nice. Originally opened by Cinecom out of Chicago, the 3 auditoriums were small and bland. It was closed by Kerasotes Theatres on July 12, 1998. The space is now reclaimed retail within the center.
