Cinemark operated the theater until the early-2000s. A chain called Interstate Theatres (don’t know what Interstate it was) took it over until December 23, 2004. Starplex Cinemas took the bag afterward before Cinema Holdings Group took over on April 30, 2010. This didn’t last long, and an independent operator took it over the following year.

50sSNIPES commented about County Drive-In on Dec 28, 2025 at 10:52 am

A 1983 aerial view shows that the theater appears to be still operating meaning that it was still open in the mid-1980s, but was already gone by the early-1990s as a 1993 aerial view shows the traces and booth but no screen.

The Walmart opened at the site in 1997 as a replacement of their previous location on 1231 North Brightleaf that had been operating since August 31, 1989.
