I know where it was/is, I serviced the projection equipment there many times. I was responding to a previous comment that says the theater was demolished. As of a few months ago, it was certainly still there.

Raysson, are you sure Merchants 6 is razed? I was by there sometime in May/June this year and it was definitely still there.

It was very gross that CARMIKE took over this theatre from Cineplex Odeon — they didn’t deserve such a nice theatre!!

I pass by this the other day and the cinema has been demolished.

A vacant lot now sits where the TOWER MERCHANTS 6 once stood.

This was one of the multiplexes that CARMIKE abandoned and left for dead when it closed in 2003. Reason why is no one knew where exactly the theatre was located not to mention even existed for that manner since the cinema was located on the other side of Bastion Lane at Tower Merchants right off the Traywick Road near the Raleigh Beltline in East Raleigh.

I managed this theater VERY briefly for Carmike in January 1994. There were several nights where we closed early because no one showed up for the 9:00 shows – no one knew the theater even existed because of where it was built. Interestingly enough, my now-father-in-law is who built the theater originally (as in, the contractor, not owner).
