The fixture video store in our shopping center is closing. Two years ago, the competitor put the Red Box video outlet inside Giant! At first people couldn't figure out what it was. Then it became too easy.
Why walk across the parking lot to rent from Blockbuster, when it was at the exit when you were buying groceries?
When I was younger, I thought stores pretty much stayed and stayed in the town. Cowiche had fixture stores. But small business owners now seem to be a lot more vulnerable to the vagaries of the financial times.
I don't know if this is due to the economy as much as it is due to no one going to video stores anymore. iTunes, Netflix, live streaming... the brick and mortar video store is dead. They just liquidated the Hollywood Video near us.
