Even at the end this was a really nice house that never seemed to thrive.

The Merrick Mall Cinema opened on December 12th, 1967 with “Wait Until Dark”. Grand opening ad posted.

Also corrected the street view image. We won’t be able to change the google map location without utilizing a valid address for the building.

The Merrick Mall Cinema is now predominantly occupied by a restaurant called Thai Station, with an address of 2161 Merrick Avenue. There is also a bridal shop and hair salon in storefronts along the former lobby portion of the building. The bridal shop has an address of 2165 Merrick Ave, while the hair salon, which occupies what would have been the actual entrance to the cinema, is listed at the old address of 44 North Merrick Avenue. Seems that the village has been re-numbering addresses along both Merrick Avenue and Merrick Road – see comments in the listing for the Gables Theatre.

My guess is the hair salon was allowed to grandfather the old address for business purposes and that 44 N. Merrick Ave may have been the theater’s address.

This listing is incorrect.

The Merrick Mall Cinema was in the 100-200 block of Merrick Avenue. The reason it was called Merrick Mall was because of the open air “mall” row of stores behind the theater, anchored by L.H. Martin and Beefsteak Charlie’s.

The address 1692 Merrick Road was for the Holiday Park (Twin) Cinema.
