When i visited my cousin who lived in Willimansett in the late fifties, we would go to the Saturday matinee at the Willow quite often, i believe the theater closed in late 1961 because i can remember it being a grocery store in 1962, why? because i remember buying Post Cereal and at the time Post had a football card set promotion that was on the back of the cereal box, Post ran this promotion in 1962. Does anyone remember the name of the grocery store?, was it the Big Y?

The Empire Theatre was located at 147 High St. The Triangle Shoe Store is located there now.
