Owned and operated by General Cinema Corporation, the Hanes Mall Cinema I-II-III-IV opened on December 22, 1976 with “The Enforcer”, “The Front”, “A Star is Born” and “Silver Streak”. The theatre was located around the back of the shopping center opposite Stratford Road and near Interstate 40 and Silas Creek Parkway. This was the third GC theatre to open in North Carolina (the others were in located in Charlotte, Fayetteville) under the GC banner. This was the first to open in Winston-Salem area, and the first one in the Triad.

The Hanes Mall Cinemas also had competition as well in the late 1990’s,when Carmike Cinemas built a huge 12-screen multiplex just south of the shopping center near Interstate 40 and Stratford Road that put this theatre out of business in early 2001.
If “HAPPY GILMORE” was PG-13 they had no business even asking.
It is a good code.But Parents should know what the kids are watching. I wrote a lot more but decided to delete my feelings on the Motion Picture Code.
Visited this particular cinema a few times in the mid to late 90’s. It was the only theatre showing the movie ‘Jawbreaker’ in the area and my teenage niece was dying to see it. The movie was awful, and the cinema was empty on a Friday night. This was back in early ‘99, so I’m surprised they kept the doors open until '01.
The Hanes Mall Cinema became a fixture for 25 years until it’s closing on October 10,2000 when Carmike Cinemas built on huge 12-plex just down the street from the Hanes Mall and nearby Interstate 40.
Open in 1976 as Winston-Salem’s first multiplex cinema.

The big 12 screen megaplex down the street, actually opened it’s doors in 1997 I believe. This theater lasted for a few years after.
FYI This theatre was supposed to be a 6 plex as judged by the photo but plans fell through. See GCC Hillsdale 4 in San Mateo and GGC Santa Anita 4 in Arcadia for more details. Later on, they had 6 plexes in Colton and Dublin CA and Scottsdale AZ. If at first you don’t succeed…
