Since Family Video is privately owned, we'll never know what's fully going on there. They used to fund their expansion through their real estate holdings, but with that market cooled, who knows? I do know that they are looking for a partner to share store spaces with, like a pizza or ice cream chain, so the BIG brick and mortar video store concept is probably dead.
For those of you that talking about opening a video store, I say go for it, but with caution. Having a secondary business is a good back up plan. For example, I have ramped up my buy/sell/trade biz in the store and that has done really well for me. I've also added comics last fall, and that so far is promising.
