http://www.ktuu.com/content/news/South-Anchorage-Blockbuster-set-to-close-478433393.html

The closure of the South Anchorage store follows multiple closures in the past few months. The North Pole Blockbuster closed earlier in March, the Wasilla Blockbuster closed in January and the Eagle River Blockbuster closed last July.


We regret to inform you that our Huffman store will be closing. We will end rental business on Sunday, April 1st. and begin our inventory sale on Tuesday. Tracy and her crew have done a phenomenal job and will be greatly missed. The sale will go on throughout the month of April on all rental items and fixtures. Thank you SO VERY much South Anchorage for your years of support~ Blockbuster Alaska

Same here. I thought they all closed down around 2011-2012.

As far as I knew the only video store that's still open is Family Video.

In hindsight BlcokBuster was a rip off. $7 to rent one movie for a week. Today we pay $12-$15 for a streaming service and watch unlimited movies.

I liked how when the Blockbuster near my mom's house closed and they took the letters down, the filth that they didn't clean up still spelled Blockbuster.

Late fees were probably the dumbest business decision ever. Hilarious how people would usually just stop using that store entirely instead of paying the fee so the store loses even more.

A lot of nostalgia for video stores, but Redbox and rental streaming services are way cheaper and more convenient.

I stopped going to Blockbuster because they accused me of stealing a movie. They ended up magically finding it a couple weeks later.

They rent out porn and all their other prices are very low for reasonable times.

The local video store outlasted Blockbuster by almost 10 years. Although now they recently stopped renting regular movies and went straight adult movies.

Close to it anyway. The trash, data capped internet there is basically the only reason they stuck around.
