Opened on February 28th, 1975 with 3 screens. Ad posted.
Expanded to 5 screens on October 27th, 1978. Grand opening ad in the photo section.
This is the wrong photo! Fresh Market is there now which replaced Circuit City. There was also a Book Emporium there years ago. Now we have Five Guys Burgers, Sushi Gawa, Toys R Us, Biaggi’s, Plato’s Closet and many more stores that opened up. I loved this theater! I remember when Home Alone played there on Thanksgiving and I didn’t get in – stood in line only to be turned away. Later it opened up as a dollar theater showing long run movies.
yeah i recall it opening in the late 70s ..77 was first time i was there. i saw a bridge too far ..with my brother the next film a year and half later the animated lord of the rings xmas 78
This theater was already closed by the time Carmike bought out GKC. I believe the space is now being used by a beauty school.
Opened late 1970’s?
1985 taken over by George Kerasotes Company?
2005 Carmike Cinemas?
Need more info and photos.
