Scroll abut halfway down this web page to the section headed “Sleepy Eye Brewing” for information about the Pix Theatre. The building now houses a craft brewing company, opened in 2019. The text reveals that the Princess/Pix had “…closed for good in the early 1990s after being in almost continuous operation since the 1920s.”

The building has been extensively altered inside, and the floor leveled, but a slide show photo of the beautifully restored front shows the Pix marquee still intact and advertising the brewery’s latest beer releases. There is also a vintage movie projector displayed on the mezzanine, but it is not pictured on the web page.

This was oroginally called the Princess Theatre. It was open prior to 1926 and became the Pix Theatre in 1939.
