Plans to convert the Summerfield Cinemas into a Planet Fitness have been put on hold after the sale of the Lakeside Shopping Center fell through.
The sale was in the works for nearly two years, but was recently called off due to a legal dispute between the property owners.
This unexpected turn of events has given a temporary reprieve to local residents and a campaign to save the historic theater. Community members have expressed concerns about the potential loss of the theater and the impact a large gym would have on the character of the shopping center.
The future of the Summerfield Cinemas remains uncertain, but the campaign to keep the theater open will continue.
