The West Oaks Mall project was announced in late 1980 with AMC signed on to build an 8-plex or possibly 10-plex theater at launch. But during construction of Federated Realty - operators of Foley’s Department Stores - the Foley’s was on board first and there was no sign of an AMC venue. But in the second phase of West Oaks Mall, the food court and a 7-plex Plitt Theatre were in the offing. The Plitt West Oaks 7 opened adjacent to the food court on March 2, 1984. Cineplex Odeon bought out the Plitt chain a year later. Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue left the building as West Oaks fought against a Houston-centric recession.

Loews and Cineplex Odeon combined April 16, 1998 and the venue would become the Loews West Oak Mall 7. Loews Cineplex declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy on February 15, 2001. It would vanquish 56 theaters nationwide. Its West Oaks 7 was one of those venues as Loews moved on following the March 1, 2001 showtimes. Three other area venues also shuttered in the reorganization.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas relaunched here on May 9, 2003. It began an expansion in 2012 in Houston while Edwards was building a 12-screen megaplex exterior to the Mall in the demolished Mervyn’s anchor spot which opened on August 24th, 2012. Alamo moved on from West Oaks and the space converted to a short-lived Toby Keith’s Bar location.

Does anyone have any pictures of the Cineplex Odeon that used to be at West Oaks Mall?
