TAMPA, Fla. — We are all really missing the thrill of going to the movies, and around the country, people are looking to the last remaining drive-in theaters for some socially-distanced entertainment.
The latest business to offer that drive-in experience is none other than Walmart, which is turning its parking lots into drive-ins. Those pop-up drive-ins are coming to a dozen Walmart stores in the Tampa Bay area Aug. 14 through Oct. 21.
The Walmart store on Bruce B. Downs Boulevard will show "Spider-Man" on Sept. 15, followed by "Spy Kids" on Sept. 16. Tickets and more viewing information is available at walmartdrive-in.com as they are announced.
