“Of course the new management will need to take input from the neighbors about what’s right and what’s not,” he said. “If you look at the reviews for their theater on Yelp, it looks good.”
Gordon said that Great Indian Entertainment would like to offer beer, wine and food inside the theater to attract more people.
“That’s what a lot of theaters are doing these days,” he said. “If it makes a difference, why not?”
“For instance look at Viks,” Gordon said, referring to the Indian chaat and grocery store in West Berkeley that recently moved to a new location on Fourth Street. “It started out as a simple warehouse and has transformed itself so much. We need to have something that gets people excited. Neighbors were not supporting the old theater that was there. Perhaps if we do something different, then more people will come.” Link to article…
