Lifestyle center is just a fancy name for an open-air mall, built to look like it’s an organically developed downtown. The idea is to bring back areas with a retail/residential mix, although I’m not sure if the development at Westgate has a residential component.
One small correction. This site was never occupied by a Dunham’s. The Dunham’s was next to the theater, and in fact closed before the theater did. As for the Dick’s, it first opened on Great Northern Boulevard around 1999, in a former Giant-Eagle (which itself was a former Rini-Rego), and moved to a site in Great Northern Mall earlier this year. It never occupied the theater space. Toby is correct in that the space is now a K&G.
I believe this building is being used as a church now. It has a strange name, The International House of God, or something along those lines. I’m almost certain it’s the same theater. Can anyone else confirm this?

The mall closed earlier this year, and is now being demolished. I don’t know what, if anything, this means for the freestanding cinemas.
Westgate Mall is now in the process of being demolished. The plan is to build a new “lifestyle center” on the land.
It is $2, but the movies are second run.
