Cinemark ended up with this theatre when it purchased Premiere Cinemas.
Geez, Matt my Columbia Square Cinemas ended up the same way, a Music store.
Opened as Grant Plaza Twin (Blue and Gold) on March 17th, 1972. Early ad in photo section.
As rivest266 notes, it operated as the Grant Plaza Twin starting in 1972. This lasted until the shopping center was renamed to Jeff Plaza (IIRC, a couple of years after the Grant’s retail chain went under and shuttered all their stores). The original two halls were in an attached structure immediately behind the minor retail space, with the entrance in a side structure located on a small, landscaped plaza between two sections of the strip mall. Later, in about 1982 or 1983, the theater acquired the retail space just in front of the existing halls, and remodeled it into two more auditoriums. Many, many fond memories of that place; lots of Disney films when I was a kid, lots of bad ‘80s sword & sorcery flicks with my girlfriend in high school, great times.
The theater’s last owner, Leonard Miles, took over the theater in November 1995 after the theater went abandoned for 18 months straight. Throughout the remainder of 1995 and into the first half of 1996, the theater received very poor business.
Miles immediately gave up on his business afterward and he closed the theater for the final time on August 28, 1996 for many reasons. The theater closed due to massive projection issues, lack of a projectionist after its original projectionist left the theater before reopening, lack of money being given to employees, and the lack of older-aged employees.
