Not-Quite-Museum-A-Museum-Store Ideas At Shankweiler’s Drive-in Theatre

Shankweiler’s Drive-in Theatre was in the news with new ownership and a mission all their own to keep this historic drive-in open. My husband and I totally related to the new owners (a DIY hates to see us coming).

It also got me thinking about how mission-driven retail could be applied. So, I brainstormed some ideas to enhance merchandise without large inventories. Items that are about sales but also about telling a story and building a legacy.

Fun fact: I grew up next door to a drive-in theater and would stand on my tiptoes to get a view. 🎬
