Bengies was opened on June 6, 1956[1][2] by Frog Mortar Corporation.[3] It was designed by Jack K. Vogel as one of three drive-ins in the Vogel Theatre chain,[1] and is still owned by the Vogel family,[4][5] and as of 2009[update] showed entirely double features,[6] with triple features on weekends as of 2014[update].[7]
During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, it was one of many drive-ins in the US used for socially distanced movie viewing and other events, and kept open after the summer ended; the theater rented in-car heaters to patrons.[5]
Its screen is the largest remaining in the United States,[1][3][5] measuring 52 feet (16 m) high and 120 feet (37 m) wide.[6][7]
