tlsloews: I did find some additional information about this; you can email me at golgafrinchan48 at att dot net. This discussion is, as you noted, not really on topic.
I THINK it opened in 1969 and closed in 1984.
It was run by ABC North Central Theaters and by Plitt from 1980-1984.
I kinda think Kohl’s is in a brand new building and not in the theater, can anyone tell us for sure?
The Kohl’s is new. They flattened the theater before building the Kohl’s.I saw a picture in the paper. Can anyone tell me why this theater bears a resemblance to the Cooper theater?
<<< It was run by ABC North Central Theaters and by Plitt from 1980-1984. >>>
The transition to Plitt ownership happened before 1980.
(What’s your source that the transition took place in 1980? Movie-Theatre.org?)
I don’t think it had any resemblance to the Cooper theatre at all. Although it was a classy house, it wasn’t on the same level as the Cooper.
This opened on June 10th, 1970. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
Yes, the KOHLS is a brand new building, the original building was torn down. It was one of the most visible theaters in the Twin Cities metro, very distinguishable from Highway 100.
inside it was very similar to the Cooper at least in the way they laid out the seats. I don’t know when it closed,but I saw Star Trek the motion picture and Revenge of the Jedi.
Closed on November 14, 1985 with “Transylvania 6-5000”.
The opening was delayed because the AC people weren’t working in the Twin City area. I’ve uploaded a picture of their announcement to this effect.
