Seaford Cinemas, a longstanding theater in the community for over 25 years, announced on its website that it will permanently close on Monday, April 28.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has come to enjoy movies at our theater over the last few years,” the website stated. “It has been an honor serving the community.”
Other entertainment organizations expressed sadness over the closure. United Skates of America Inc., based in Seaford, shared a post on Facebook about the news.
“We are so sad to hear about the closing of Seaford Cinemas,” the post read, “a longstanding local business in our community that our family has been to many times.”
For years, the cinema not only showed movies but also hosted private parties. Some customers who placed deposits for upcoming events say their parties have allegedly been canceled and deposits lost for May and beyond, according to posts on social media.
United Skates also offered assistance to families impacted by the closure. In its Facebook post, the organization encouraged those who lost their party deposits to reach out.
“If you are in this situation and have lost your deposit for your party, please call us,” the post said. “We will find a time for you and credit your party $50 (which we believe is half of your deposit). If you were doing a Stitch movie party, we have a Stitch-themed party available.”
United Skates asked affected customers to call 516-795-5475 or send a message to arrange a time.
