Article Summary:
On 4 August 1997, owner Shere Young put the Alhambra Theatre up for sale for $250,000. The theater had been showing family movies six days a week at discount prices. After operating the theater for six years, Young said it was time to move on to other projects. "This is one I'm tired of. It's a baby-sitting job. It's fun, but it's hard work, a lot of hard work.''
Attendance at the Alhambra dropped a little durring 1997, which Young attributes to a poor selection of PG and PG-13 movies. Moviegoers in Pleasant Grove don't come out for R-rated movies and a higher percentage of recent movies are rated R.
