Opened in 1950 and operated by James Taylor Company (UNC). This unique-named drive-in was located in the northeast section of the city of Benton next to the current Interstate 30. By 1955 it was operated by H.T. Crawford & Mrs. Sybel C. Carter.
It was closed in the early-1970’s and was demolished a few years later.

Boxoffice, Jan. 28, 1950: “CONSTRUCTION: Benton, Ark. - $50,000, 400-car Big 4 Drive-In under way for Big 4 Drive-In Corp.”
I can’t be sure, but the concession stand/projector booth may still be standing.
The drive-in was demolished before 1973, but the structure appears to still be standing in front of the newly constructed, but now home of the Space Walk of Middle Arkansas. Which sells party supplies.
It appears the booth was extended before 1983 to add a garage. However, I do not see any telltale signs of a projection booth such as the square holes for the projector. So again, I cannot be sure.
