The Shops at Colonnade (just one “l” in Colonnade) was a strip plaza built in 1989 with Consolidated Theatres signing on for a 10-screen, 2000-seat multiplex. The theater opened June 16 1989. On November 22, 1989, the Consolidated Circuit was acquired by Carmike and this one officially became the Carmike Colonnade 10 on December 1, 1989.

In 1997, the Megaplex era of cinema exhibition was gearing up and the Colonnade’s cookie cutter approach to its auditoriums wasn’t cutting it. Carmike built its new-era Summit 16 in the vicinity opening in November of 1997 and repositioned the Colonnade as a sub-run discount house with all seats $1.50. Carmike closed here on August 17, 2000 escaping this and selected other leases of aging properties in its Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The space remained vacant before being repurposed for a fitness center.
