Robert Morton first operated the Albia Drive-In until he was transferred to Fremont, Nebraska in April 1956. Tom Ryan of Cairo, Nebraska became the new manager for both King Theatre and Albia Drive-In in Albia, who also formerly managed the Cairo Theatre in Cairo, Nebraska.

A 1978 aerial shows nothing but parch marks of the ramps, outline, and entrance/exit road of the drive-in. The parch marks have long faded away.

Today, a house sits about where the screen once stood. Most of the property is farmland. But there is one small trace of the drive-in remaining. A few feet of the entrance road still exists, albeit in dirt form, where it connects to 664th Avenue.
