Information for this tour was contributed by Bob Meza.

This complex was built by Mann Theatres in the 1980s. It was bought by GKC and run as a first run house until GKC built the Beverly theatre. It ran as a second run for a few years then closed about 2002. It only has 7 screens, not 8 as shown on the marquee.

An article in the 7/6/1982 edition of the St Louis Post-Dispatch announced Wehrenberg's acquisition of this and six other area Mann theatres.
