I worked the concession stand there for a year (‘85-'86, just out of high school. Didn’t pay much, but it was a lot of fun. Until they opened the 8 across the street, it was the biggest multi-screen theater in Columbus, IIRC. Late night work parties were fun. They had to screen the movie before showing it to the public anyway, so we would do that, fix broken seats, etc.
The rushes were crazy. Two big ice machines couldn’t keep up with demand. And changing out a 50# drum of hot oil during a rush was an adventure.
Sad to see it as a dollar store now, but time marches on.
I saw Star Wars there. The lines for the big movies would go all the way up the mall and back down.
