Two investors started a cinema that likely was a Jerry Lewis Cinema franchise at one point in development. The 350-seat theater launched July 11, 1973 with “Paper Moon.” It was then shut down by the city. It had a relaunch with “Paper Moon” again. The theater owners eventually sold the property to more experienced operators.

The Post was run by Brandt Theatres, then was sold at some point to Nutmeg, which became CinemaNational/USA Cinemas/Loews. Loews closed it around 1990. The theater was on the left side of the center, which is now Pompanoosic Mills Furniture.
