Located in Irondequoit, to the north of Rochester, NY. The Jerry Lewis Cinema launched on September 7, 1973 with “Last of Sheila”. The single-screen theatre was a rarity in the chain in that it retained the Jerry Lewis nameplate long after the circuit had imploded and had the entirety of its run from open to close as the Jerry Lewis Cinema. The venue closed with “Blame it on Rio” on April 15, 1984. In 1985 it became an auto sales shop that is still in operation into the 21st Century.

Did it ever screen any Jerry Lewis films?
In May of 1981, the Jerry Lewis Cinema played “Hardly Working” directed by and starring the late Mr. Lewis.
The Jerry Lewis Cinema in Waterville Maine was a single screen.
Two out of the three in the St. Louis metropolitan area were single screeners. The third a twin.
The one in Hillsborough NJ was a single. The twin in Carteret NJ also retained the Jerry Lewis name until it closed in the fall of 84. The one in Union NJ was a single but was eventually twinned.
According to a 1973 ad, this one had 350 soft plush chairs.
The one in Lake Ronkonkoma, NY was also single screen. The other two Long Island locations in Massapequa Park and East Meadow were twins. The latter hung on for a long time as an independent.
The auto sales and detailing shop is called Auto Zone.
AutoZone is actually a chain auto parts and accessories retailer, not a repair shop.
