The former 4-Lane site, later a Stuckey’s, is now “Stickey’s,” a cannabis retailer. Google Maps has its address as 420 US-60 70 84, Clovis, NM 88101.

Clovis News-Journal, July 4, 1982, in a retrospective: “(W.O. Bearden and Lloyd Franklin) bought the 4-Lane Drive-In Theater between Clovis and Texico about 1958, later selling it to Stuckey’s.”

In a discussion of the drive-ins owned by Lloyd Franklin and W. O. Bearden, the March 21, 1960 issue of BoxOffice wrote, “They bought the Four Lane Drive-In east of town in the fall of 1955 but never did open it.”

The June 17, 1950 issue of BoxOffice reported, “The Four Lane Drive-In, a 444-car situation, built by John Whipple of Muleshoe, Tex., and Myron Finkelstein of Kansas City, Mo.,” had opened during “the May-June period”.

Found It!

The drive-in is east of town, 422 US-60, Clovis, NM 88101, about midway between Clovis and the town of Texico.

Today, Gallery Fifteen and another business sits on the property. You can still see the ramps.
