The former cinema could be converted into a self-storage centre instead
Blackpool’s former Odeon Cinema could be converted to a self-storage centre after hopes of transforming the building into a family entertainment centre have fallen through.
However a spokesperson for Austringer Capital said it had failed to find a new operator for the leisure uses. They added the new name would better reflect the location in Bloomfield ward, near blackpool-fc>Blackpool FC’s Bloomfield Road stadium, while improved landscaping will be carried out next winter.
The spokesperson added: “With the decision by Odeon not to renew the lease, a planning application was made for a family entertainment centre. Unfortunately, after 12 months marketing there has been no interest in the use and the owners have had to look at commercially viable alternatives. “In addition, construction work is due to start shortly on a new Starbucks Drive Thru which is expected to be handed over to the tenant in January 2024. The Frankie and Benny’s unit is also due to be converted to a drive through restaurant.
