Eau Claire (WQOW) – It may have been Gemini’s best year of business in five years, but the profit wasn’t enough to break even.

The general manager said they’ve never made a profit off of the theater and it wasn’t doing well when they bought it five years ago either . The theater only takes up 10 of the 40 acres. The owners were hoping to sell the land the theater wasn’t using, but Eau Claire Co-Op Oil Company wants to buy the entire 40-acres.

“It has by far been the hardest decision we’ve had to make and we come out here on Friday nights and we see the families out here and it just breaks our heart, you know to have to say goodbye to it unfortunately,” Dan Olson, the theater’s general manager, said.

For now, the owners plan to keep the equipment. They hope to relocate somewhere but don’t know if, or how, that will happen. The land still hasn’t officially been purchased.
