Where Staples stands today on North Colony Road was a movie theater in the 1980s.
Colony Cinema 1-5 opened in 1983 in the former Colony Shopping Plaza.
"The cavernous interior of the Skating Palace was reshaped by workmen to accommodate the five mini-theaters within the 22,000-square-foot section," according to a February 1983 Record-Journal article.(2)
