Opened in 1932 as the Poplar Theatre, it has been used as a supermarket since it closed back in 1964. The building has undergones many renovations over the years, and the original entrance has been bricked over, with a new entrance now on the north corner.
There are a few reminders that the building was once a movie theatre however. On the facade of the theatre, a white stone has engraved “Astor”, which over the years had faded, but is still readable. On the rear of the building is an old painted sign for the theatre where you can clearly see “Poplar Theatre”, but that’s about it.
