Don't care. I always went to independent mom and pop rental stores. Always had other cool shit for sale and the porno rental in the back with the stupid hippy bead door.

Mine is a Chase bank.
I should open an account there so I have a reason to go in.

Who cares? Video stores still exist.
Nothing is stopping you from buying a new 4K UHD movie, blurays, dvds, tapes, CDs, vinyl, used games, etc from the same store without the blockbuster bullshit.
Faggot zoomer, stick the business end of a shotgun up your FAGGOT ass.

Resale shop, resale shop, a family video and the mom and pop video store turned into a resale shop. There was another mom and pop store in a strip mall next to a family dollar and they just knocked the wall down to expand the family dollar. The family video turned into some place that sells bdsm shit and weed shit.

>>223463900
It turned into a MetroPCS store. Funny enough, it was right next to an autozone that's still there.
>>
My local one closed in like 2010. It turned into an art gallery for local artists and held various pop up artsy weirdos events then it turned into a medical weed dispensary 2019. The dispensary went out of business in 2022 or 23 and it's been vacant since.

I looked it up and it turned into a vet at some point, never would have seen that one.
God I miss blockbuster so much

>>223464493
They did something a while back where they got rid of street view for old stuff and there was some workaround I found searching on google last year on a Reddit post
>>
>>223463965
That's a viable business in current year?
>>
reminder that it wasn't that great in hindsight:
>rent friday, gotta return by sunday or else late fees
>gotta rewind VHS tapes (scumbag move to leave it unwound)
>no way people didnt jack off or have sex and then touch the case or tape or cd without washing their hands gross
>gotta go all the way back to return like it's a library
>all the new releases were rented when you wanted them
>the good games were always rented

Kek yeah not wrong, the pokies room is massive, and half of the place is just sports betting.

Greek restaurant, nail salon, Gamestop, Farm Bureau Insurance, AT&T, and a Five Guys. A lot of use out of a spot that used to just be a bunch of videos.

I never visited it but there was a Family Video around here somewhere that had a Marco's Pizza next to it, think it had one of these windows. The Family Video's gone but I think the Marco's still is there.

He's still in business thanks to rich tourists and horse people

>>223466614
Maid services and seamstresses for proms and weddings need repairs. There's usually one in any decently sized town, they just don't generally have a noticeable storefront.

Verizon store, it's an old picture tho they remodeled the outside and got rid of the old ticket stub

>>223463900
my local blockbuster turned into one of those stores where you go in and they reach into your ass and grab some turds and wrap it up for you
>>
>>223463900
My main one got turned into the first Starbucks my city ever had, and it's still there today. Another turned into a locksmith, another a Doctor office, and one is an auto parts store I believe. Miss those days. No soul anywhere.
>>
One's a mattress store. I'm not actually sure if the other one I usually went to was Blockbuster or some other rental company but it's an O'Reilly's now.

It was our first Five Guys, quite an upgrade honestly
>>
>>223470742
Five Guys is overrated and overpriced. Fatburger is the way better "expensive fast food burger" restaurant.
>>
>>223470766
I'm in Canada, fast food sucks here. Five Guys probably had the best burger in the city when it opened, and well priced. But they have gone downhill since.

My sincerest condolences, I hope your country recovers soon.

>>223464846
Different in my state. VideoEzy disappeared really quickly, but Blockbuster managed to hang on until the very late 2010s. I went by on the last day of my local one to buy up all the DVDs and blu-rays I could for $1 each.
>>
>>223470766
Shit tasting burgers too. The chips are good and they give me a shitload, but the burgers are the most bland awful crap I've ever had.
