The Kato Twin Star Drive-In opened its gates by Carisch Theatres in May 1978, and opened two weeks after the Cine 4’s opening, also by Carisch.

Both the original single-screen Kato Star and the then-new twin-screen Kato Twin Star operated together for only one season. The closure of the original single-screener Kato Star at the end of the 1978 season left the twin-screen Kato Twin Star the only drive-in theater operating in Mankato until Carisch Theatres closed the twin-screener’s gates after the 1988 season.
