Tag: hollywoodvideoTuesday, March 23, 2010I already reported last month that the Hollywood Video on Hwy 50 would be closing. But at the time everyone said that the store at the south end of Carson would be staying open. Well, oops. Looks like they're both closing. They both have "Store Closing" and "Everything Must Go" banners up (as well as "Still Renting!"). So that will leave Carson City with very few places to go and rent movies. Not that many people do it anymore, so I guess that's why they're closing. But some people do still rent, and they'll be left out in the cold. I guess Blockbuster is about to get real busy. Tags: carsoncity hollywoodvideo Sunday, February 7, 2010I guess this was inevitable - one of the Hollywood Video locations in Carson City will be closing in a couple of months. The trigger for this is Hollywood Video declaring bankruptcy - again - and not seeing a need for two stores in Carson anymore. It's the same thing Blockbuster Dave Morgan says "The internet strikes again," and that's largely true. The decline of local video stores is mostly due to the rise of Netflix, which gives you unlimited rentals without having to leave your house, and RedBox, which puts cheap as dirt rentals in the stores you already shop at.
