El Rancho Drive-in Theatre is a cherished American classic, standing tall since its establishment in 1952. With a resilient 60x90 foot screen and a rich history of weathering storms and personal battles, this family-owned drive-in has become a symbol of enduring tradition and nostalgia.
Under the dedicated ownership of William Wemple and his wife, Darci, El Rancho Drive-in has thrived, offering moviegoers a chance to experience the magic of an American Summer Evening under the stars. As the torch is passed to their son, Devin Wemple, and his wife, Mariya, the legacy of El Rancho Drive-in continues, promising to be a steadfast presence for generations to come.
