Lloyd's Drive-In History
Lloyd's Drive-In in Worland, Wyoming, in the Bighorn Basin, was named for its owner, Lloyd Kerby, who also owned the Kerby Theatre in town. Boxoffice reported in May 1949 that he had bought ten acres near Worland and would spend $75,000 on a drive-in. It opened that year, and it held about 380 cars, large for Wyoming at the time.
Boxoffice ran a picture of its sign in February 1951. The name was written in one long neon line, Lloyds with no apostrophe, its L looping down into a swash that ran under the word and out to the words Drive In. The board below read closed for the season, and it sent customers to the Kerby in town for the Bob Hope picture on October 31 and November 2. Kerby was planning another theater, an 800-seat house, by 1953.
The drive-in is in a 1963 directory, and an aerial photo from 1980 shows it intact and apparently running. By 1994 it had been torn down. Nothing found gives a closing year.
