The theater is staying open and the demolition plans are off the table. Watching the community rally around these screens proved that our local businesses are worth fighting for. We still need to keep an eye on the site developments but for now our neighborhood landmark is safe.

Roundy\'s Supermarkets, Inc., the parent company of Rainbow Foods, plans to demolish and rebuild their store on Larpenteur Avenue in Roseville, Minnesota. As a result, the attached Roseville 4 Theatres will be closing their doors permanently sometime in April and we will lose this popular and affordable community resource. This petition aims to reach as many people as possible before March 24th on which date the Roseville City Council will meet to discuss the final approval of the project. We, the undersigned, protest this plan and: - believe the public was poorly informed about this project - support local and family-owned businesses - strongly urge Roundy\'s to renovate the existing building and parking lot while maintaining the lease with the Roseville 4 - will consider alternate places to shop if the Roseville 4 closes.

Seeing this kind of momentum brings back so many memories of the weekends my family spent at these screens. It is truly humbling to see so many neighbors agree that this theater is worth fighting for.

Seeing one hundred people sign this in such a short time reminds me how much this theatre means to our neighborhood. My own family has spent countless Friday nights in those seats and it feels incredible to know so many of you share that history.

Why do we keep losing our local spots? Prices are already high enough without losing a cheap theatre option. Leave it be.

This theatre is a landmark in Roseville. Why destroy something that is still working and affordable for families? Keep it open.

Total nonsense. Plenty of other places to shop but only one Roseville 4. If they close it I am never shopping at that grocery store again.
