News Nearby: Two Carmike Cinemas in Snellville to Coexist

A new Carmike Cinema complex will be built across from the Avenue Webb Gin. No theaters in Liburn, though. Should there be?

Carmike Cinemas announced Feb. 28 that construction will begin soon on a new Carmike Cinemas complex in Snellville. 

Residents sent in emails and comments to Snellville Patch concerning the current Carmike Cinema, located at 905 Scenic Highway. They feared it would become another vacant building in town.

However, Terrell Mayton, director of marketing for Carmike, told Snellville Patch that "our existing Snellville location will continue to serve our guests."

-- There is no movie theater in Lilburn, however. Residents travel to places in Snellville, Lawrenceville, Duluth and beyond. Should there be something more local? Tell us in the comments. --

Jon Davis, Snellville's city manager, confirmed that the complex will be on the property right after if you're headed toward Lawrenceville on Scenic Highway. That property is outside of Snellville city limits, but the city is in negotiations to annex that portion of town.
