As rivest266 notes, it operated as the Grant Plaza Twin starting in 1972. This lasted until the shopping center was renamed to Jeff Plaza (IIRC, a couple of years after the Grant’s retail chain went under and shuttered all their stores). The original two halls were in an attached structure immediately behind the minor retail space, with the entrance in a side structure located on a small, landscaped plaza between two sections of the strip mall.
Later, in about 1982 or 1983, the theater acquired the retail space just in front of the existing halls, and remodeled it into two more auditoriums.
Many, many fond memories of that place; lots of Disney films when I was a kid, lots of bad ‘80s sword & sorcery flicks with my girlfriend in high school, great times.
