Chuck, I am working with several people in Concord on the history of their theaters. So far we have a list of as many as 17 theatres in the downtown. I will summit names and locations when we finish. The Paramount was located at 9 North Union and later was named the Cinema Theater. I was told last week that the restaurant is not located in the old theater building but two doors down. There are some amazing photos that I will share if the owns give me permission.
If this article is correct, the former theatre has been converted to a pub/restaurant called the Speakeasy Alehouse.
Mike I am looking for photos and the history of Concord Theaters for a calendar for Cabarrus Bank and Trust. I would love to get in touch with you. My email is
