Conneaut Plaza Theatres reopens under new management

CONNEAUT, OH -- The Conneaut Plaza Theatres reopened under new management last weekend after closing last September. Ironically, the recent closing of the nearby Ashtabula Plaza Theatre laid the foundation for reopening the Plaza.

They also put in a new concession stand that offers an extended menu that includes hot dogs, nachos and pizza to be baked on the premises by Pizzi Cafe.

The couple has been learning how to run the projectors and other equipment from the former manager.
