I thought they had remodeled the shopping center where the Broadmoor theater was...I remember a local AG grocer, a big chain pharmacy, and a 24 hour gym were considering that site.
It had decent traffic counts if I remember but the calculations were weird because of those stupid service roads. Older parts of Broadmoor had higher incomes and very promising demographics, but north of Florida had some iffy stats at the time (2010).
I wasn't sure it would be a good site for anything but a local grocery, ACE hardware, bank, gym, and a general store. Definitely not a regional center like a theater or super center. I think the developer thought the shopping center in the back was more visible than it really was.
I'd like to see something like a Hi Neighbor or Reeve's replace the old theater, but there is pretty stiff competition in that area as far as grocers go.

I used to love The Broadmoor growing up. It was the $2, second-run movie cinema, which was about all we could afford. We'd shop at that flea market regularly, too. I think my mom still has an armoire that she bought there back in the 80s.
quote:I live just a few blocks south of the shopping center, and I had to go to the ATM at CapOne last night at about 6:30. The parking lot had a shite-ton of cars in it. I think most of them were for Planet Fitness, but the center appears to be doing very well, overall. It could probably survive on business from Broadmoor & Sherwood Forest alone.
