Listing Description

A rare opportunity to own a true piece of Illinois history! The historic Midway Drive-In Theater in Sterling has been entertaining generations since 1950 and is home to Illinois' oldest standing drive-in movie screen. This iconic single-screen venue features a massive 90-foot screen and parking capacity for approximately 500 vehicles, creating an authentic outdoor movie experience unlike any other.

The 15.5 acre property includes the classic retro "spaceship" ticket booth, full-service 50's style concesion stand/diner, digital projection capabilities and the infrastructure necessary to continue operating this established entertainment destination.

The Midway has embraced the nostalgia of the classic American drive-in while continuing to offer first-run movies, double features and special events. The concesion operation offers a variety of popular movie and diner favorites, adding an additional revenue component to the business.

This is a rare opportunity for an owner/operator, investor, entrepreneur or entertainment-minded buyer to acquire an established business and an iconic property with decades of history, recognition, and a loyal following. Opportunities of this nature rarely become available. Qualified buyers are encouraged to inquire for additional information regarding the property, business, equipment and included assets.
