I want to buy gift certs...how early are you open?

I believe the doors opening a half hour before the first showing is correct. They also remain open during show times. Check the schedule before going, as it varies from the 5pm/1pm start times sometimes around the holidays. You can also message them or post the question on their Facebook page if you want a definitive answer, as they are very responsive on that. Great gift idea!

I would stop in during the times they are open and inquire about gift certificates

I figured I would have to come back to town closer to movie time (They only have a movie recording when you call.)

I would guess they would open 1/2 hr before the earliest show which typically begins at 5 during a normal week and 1 on the weekends. You could call to see if they make arrangements for different times.

Call them
