You should use google more often, and look up why they are keeping the stores, then you will understand, just saying.

If I recall correctly, Clayton or Ergen said that their purchase of Blockbuster isn't going to end up being a "transformative" decision like they'd hoped it would become. Again, if there was news regarding Dish pursuing their wireless plans involving BB, I'd post that as well, but there has been absolutely nothing reported in the news as of late except for the announcement that Dish is abandoning the wireless thing (besides the announcements regarding the losses). Also, in the second article I posted, why didn't he mention anything about the wireless plans hopefully helping them in Q4? All he mentioned in regards to why they think they'll have a strong Q4 was because they'll have deeper inventory and better movies being released. |

However, they do have a plan. It has taken longer, much longer, than they first anticipated. They too realize that without change they can't continue to afford to go down this path. I imagine they will close some more stores after the 4th quarter. These will mostly be the larger stores where monthly costs and montly revenue simply doesn't add up with one another and as the lease expires, so will that store. And without a change, I don't see more than 200-300 stores left another year and a half from now. With that said, Dish has not given up on their plan. If you read beyond the one-sided front page articles you see in Google News you may start to find this information. I think the quarterly conference calls after earnings, the information they share with investors and share holders, is the more telling information. And despite what a couple current employees, who by the way don't know their ass from their head, have said, they are not opening new stores. Do they have a designed ideal footprint for future stores? Absolutely, and if their long term plans ever take form, it is quite likely they will begin opening new stores. Until a decision is made by the FCC, who has promised a decision by the end of the year, and until they can identify a partner to help build out a wireless network which they can market to their current customers and beyond, nobody knows what will happen. If the FCC doesn't approve their desired use for the wireless spectrum, we all know what will happen. If they can't identify and form a partnership with an existing mobile company, we all know what will happen. But I am not an idiot. Right now, I believe my current position with this company is best for me. With the economy and unemployment the way it is, there isn't a lot of opportunities out there and the ones that are aren't really any better than where I am out now, in my opinion. So in summary, yes Blockbuster is dying. It has been for years but it isn't dead. Dish does have a plan, but it may never happen, and not by choice but by circumstances. They have done some very good things in stores and at the corporate level. They still have a long way to go. Will they ever get there? Nobody knows for sure but the next year or so will certainly tell us all what we want to know. And we all know what most of you hope will be the end result but I am sure you'll let me know again in response to my post. |
