New Theatre In Penticton?

A new movie theatre to replace the aging Pen-Mar could be a long time coming.

The Operations Director for Landmark Cinemas of Canada says they have been looking at building a large, state-of-the-art theatre in Penticton but are having trouble finding a suitable location.

One spot considered is the current site of Liquidation World on Winnipeg Street, but an environmental study has been holding up the closure of the site.

City Planner Donna Butler says no formal application for a new theatre has been submitted to the city by Landmark Cinemas.
