Former Omagh cinema site goes on the market

The site of a former cinema in Co Tyrone has gone on the market after it closed its doors earlier this year.

The IMC Cinema on the Gillygooley Road in Omagh ceased trading in April and is now on the market to let to interested bidders.

The nine screen theatre is listed on the website of commercial property agent Osborne King.

Details on the brochure of the property say it runs to 17,039 square feet, including a car park, though no price has been attached to the listing.

While the listing adds that the property is ‘ready for immediate use’ as a cinema, the estate agent says it could be converted for ‘other uses’.

“The detached property comprises a substantial former 9 screen multiplex cinema fronting Gillygooley Road on a self-contained site with ample parking,” the listing says.

“Internally the property is currently fitted out as a cinema ready for immediate use.

“The front building is of modern construction with older original commercial buildings to the rear.

“Alternatively the building and property would lend itself for conversion for other uses requiring a large building and ample parking/circulation space.”

While there has been no official announcement from IMC in relation to the closure of the cinema, it said in a reply to a tweet on 29 April it was closed for 'the foreseeable future'.
