One screen vs. multiplex...
Nell: I had no idea I still had so much stuff in here. Would you hand me the tape please?
Lana: Yeah. I still can't believe you're selling this place, Nell.
Nell: I can't believe your sudden interest in the place.
Lana: My parents met here. This place means a lot to me.
Nell: I know, Lana. But one screen can't compete with a multiplex and the fact is,
I want to be able to send you to any college you want.
Lana: Could you tell me who the buyer is? Maybe I could talk to them, see if they'd be willing to renovate.
Nell: It's Lex Luthor.
Okay I get a multiplex is a theater with several screens but it just doesn't add up.
I mean in the previous episode Nell said they were relocating to a smaller store
and now it appears as if she wants to move to something much bigger?
Am I right or Nell is referring to something else here?
Edit: I think I've got it. They don't stand a chance against bigger cinemas, right?
Lana: Yeah. I still can't believe you're selling this place, Nell.
Nell: I can't believe your sudden interest in the place.

I have no idea what happened before, but it sounds as though she owns a movie theater - a single-screen movie theater. That type of theater cannot compete against the theaters that show many movies at the same time, so since she has received and offer to buy it, she's going ot take it.
