This is the only mention I can find for it. Closed at some point in 1990 or shortly later. Building is now the AMC Theater, which itself has been through three previous theater owners.

I am guessing that the Bridgeville, PA location mentioned is the former Zayre store
in the Great Southern Shopping Center.   I was living in Michigan at the time and had
never seen it under the Ames banner.

Ironically most of that location today is filled by a T.J. Maxx store.
TJX is the successor company to Zayre Corp.  So it appears that Zayre dumped
the failing location on Ames, let them go bankrupt, and then leased the location
back for T.J. Maxx.
