Bloomington Drive-In

The Phil-Kron Drive-In opened in 1947, located on Main Street in Bloomington. Its orignal name comes from its first owners, Kenneth Phillips and Phil Kron. The drive-in could accommodate 850 cars, and the large screen tower once contained a restaurant/grill.

Later, the theater was renamed the Bloomington Drive-In after it was acquired by Kerasotes Theatres. It was closed in 1988, and severely damaged by a wind storm after closing. What was left was later demolished and the site was considered by GKC Theatres for a new multiplex, but it never happened. A shopping center has since been built on the site.
