88 Drive-In at Commerce City is closing to make room for warehouse

The last drive-in movie theater in metro Denver — theAnd instead of a red sign shaped like an arrow and flickering Hollywood fare, drivers rolling past the theater, located in the relatively affordable Irondale neighborhood, may soon see an 80,500-square-foot industrial warehouse touted as an appealing amenity.

“The owners of the 88 Drive-in Theater have chosen to step away from their business and go in a different direction for the future of that property. The decision to close the theater was not made by the city, and Commerce City has not asked or encouraged the drive-in to close its operation.” The theater opened in 1972, and the current owner Susan Kochevar, from a local family that has run the theater since 1976, advertises the quality of its giant screen and powerful projector lamp, 540 feet away from the screen. A snack bar helped in the goal of giving customers “the greatest outdoor cinema experience” in “the last remaining original drive-in in the Denver metro area.”
