I worked at this triplex when I was in college in the late 1980’s. The manager was Mr. Guthrie (John Guthrie?) who was originally from Tuscan, AZ. The assistant manager was Karen.
It was fun and scary to change the one foot high marquee letters (climbling up a ladder and all) on Thursday nights around 11 PM. This was needed to update films and also the showtimes.
The mall had a solid business in the late 1980’s. There was a really kool Italian family (via Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn) that owned a pizza shop nearby in the mall.
All memories now! I may find a few old pictures I could scan in the future. I hope I still have them.

There’s a photo of the opening day ad here: http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/33024
Apparently The Tampa Bay Mall I & II and The Eastlake Square Cinemas I II & III opened the same day, August 6, 1976.
