The Valley Drive-In Theatre was opened in 1954. It was owned and operated by Robert C. Eubanks and J. W. Thompson.

April 5, 1957 ad

In March 1961, Eubanks Thompson dissolved their business partnership, with Eubanks apparently retaining the business. The theater closed in 1962.

It was redeveloped as Ram's Plaza circa 1987.
