Just found out that the old theatre area is in the midst of being converted into a clinic. Perfect idea in Bismarck. This will be the second clinic in the mall, unless it means that the clinic will move from the current smaller spot into the bigger spot where the theatre was.

The location of this one is actually Moorhead Minnesota, not North Dakota.

Lost memory, that is actually the address of the other movie theater they own in town. The drive-in itself is located north of Williston on Highway 2.

Melissa Koppinger commented about Plaza Twin Theatres on May 24, 2008 at 12:10 am

Was there in 1999 and noticed it is was first run, but it usually got the movies after they had hit both Carmike 10 and Columbia 4 and usually within weeks of the movie being released on video. May have been remodeled since and turned into another store. Haven’t been to GF since just before it closed.

According to the Kirkwood mall website, the mall map shows the spot where the theater once was(spot 15 on the map with no store claiming it). The theater was only accessible from the outside of the mall. There is no entrance inside the mall. It is closed and is sitting empty, so far.
