This modern megaplex was in business for just over a year. It opened in November 1999 and closed in February 2001 as a result of the Loews Cineplex bankruptcy. Competition from the nearby Destinata 24 megaplex, less than two miles down Route 30 and opened around the same time as the Loews, hurt business as well. The theater sat boarded up for some time, and was then converted into a retail mall.

I think it’s now something called “Rossi’s Buyer’s Depot”.
Paul, I believe you are correct.
It’s called www.rossi'spopupmarketplace.com
rossispopup.com
Simply put over screening in many medium size cities to larger ones.Pure greed.

An inglorious fate for what should have been a great cinema.
Check out their Facebook page – fascinating – it looks like they’ve half-gutted the theatre with venders popping up all over the corridors and lobbies, almost something out of the third world.
I installed the projection equipment in this theatre in October 1999 using over 2000 zip ties. In march of 2001, i cut out over 2000 zip ties. Maybe I should have used Velcro? This theatre was actually much nicer than Destinta, but the location, unruly moviegoers, the unskilled “projectionists” and the “New York” attitude of Loews guaranteed few return customers.
The real sad commentary was that Lowes tore down the really nice drive in (5 screens if I recall correctly) that was on the site so as to build this complex.
Lowes is a hardware co. Loew’s was the Theatre Co.
