Became the Goodwill store in the mid 2010’s.
The Hermiston Drive-In opened quietly on November 14th, 1980 with two screens and the Grove-Drive-In with the projection booth serving the drive-in as well. on March 25th, 1988 the cinema no. 2 was split up for a total of 3 indoor screens. An extension on the east side of the building opened on June 25th, 1993 for a total of 5 screens plus the drive-in. The drive-in’s last season was 1998 and the theatre closed on April 29th, 2004.
When the cinema opened, the projection booth also projected the Oasis Drive-In’s screen. The 3rd indoor screen opened on March 25th, 1988.
This theatre has been repurposed as a Goodwill store. Function should be: retail.
The Hermiston Tri-Cinema serving the Tri-cities launched November 19, 1980 with two operating screens and 652 seats with “Blue Lagoon” and “Smokey and the Bandit 2.” In 1983, it expanded to the Hermiston Tri-Cinema 5. It appears to have completed a 25-year leasing agreement although may have dropped “Tri” in 2000.
The murals painted on the walls of the lobby are absolutely stunning!
