Oh, and to add, it’s now the Collision Center for Bill Brown Ford. Their problem is not enough space for their operations in one location on Plymouth Road, so they’re spread out from Wayne Road all the way to almost Middlebelt Road. They also used the former Mai Kai theater parking lot as an overflow lot for years until it was torn down.

Saw many movies there over the years, especially when it became a $1.50 movie house running second and third run films. Cheap way to have some fun on a weekend night.

Do remember seeing Empire Strikes Back there, and the line to get in was down the side of the building, around the back, and back up the other side. Crazy times. LOL

I’m fairly sure that the theater itself is not used by the dealership, just the parking lot as an overflow lot.

Now it is a car showroom for local Ford dealer Bill Brown. That man upsets me so much….
