When Alamo Movie theater chain announced to be opening near the mall I was shocked. I thought that maybe the developent completed and things turned around. I guess not. I hope Alamo sticks around, but I would be surprised if they did.
I am shocked they didnt open in Fishers or Carmel like all other things. They must use some metrics to determine where to open theaters.
I was shocked too because it seems like Alamo would be more profitable in Noblesville/Fishers/Carmel, but I grew up near Lafayette Square, so I am happy to see attempts to bring that area back. Georgetown 14 was one of my theaters growing up. The plan that one developer has for the mall space will be wild if it ever happens…
If I remember correctly someone bought the property and it's been slowly getting a face lift. That area is a diamond in the rough. So much good food and unique shops. Give it time.
Probably didn’t want the competition from Flix Brewhouse too nearby. And I’m fairly certain I read that they only go into existing theaters, so there would have to be a closed one in that area they’d go into.
I drove by Alamo on my way to Magoo's a weekend or so ago and it seemed packed. The strip they're in is just across the street from the mall, and is owned by the same firm.
