As of July 2023 Street View show the theatre has been converted to retail establishments.
Although opened by Cinemette Theatres in May of 1976, This used the Associated Theatres popular “Cinema World” building plans by architect Martin Chetlin. It was virtually identical to the ones built in Greensburg, Pleasant Hills, Norwin Hills, Monaca, and a few others.
Today, May 12, 2016 is the last day of shows at the Carmike Park Hills Theatre 7. The theatre is therefore closing just 16 days before it would have turned 40.
This theater will likely be closing in the next several months, as Carmike has recently opened a new 12 screen on the new edge of town. Thus the oldest (by almost 20 years) of the new theaters will soon be closed. I guess I’ll have to Patronize the small theaters like the Rowland or the Clifton 5. :–/
This cinema and the Park Hills Cinemas both opened on May 28th, 1976. Shared grand opening ad in photo section.
A photo of the entrance can be seen here.
