I also know that this store's lease doesn't expire until March 2014, as I recall from reading KCCLLC's website back when BB first filed for bankruptcy and was sold. It's probably a combination of the fact that the store is actually making money and that the lease also doesn't expire for another year. |

Blockbuster will be closing all stores at some point in the near future. Speaking as a store manager of a now closing store. They released a closing checklist for store managers to follow at the end of the process. On this list it says to ship out store closing banners to go forward stores. These stores won't be named until close to the end of the process. Dish did not know how to run this company in the first place. In fact, they did worst than the former owners. Why? They wasted tons of money putting a new face on a bag of crap. If they just filled the stores with movies, labor, and a way to get the word out that blockbuster was not a dead company we wouldn't be in this mess. Alas, I end ten years with the company in April. Looking back, I could say I fought with vigor to save a business that was dying. Dish on the other hand can suck it. They gave it the head shot.

If they close any more stores, they might lose whatever leverage they had negotiating with studios over prices. Once that happens the rental model will probably not be profitable for them anymore. Unless, of course, the managers are still buying the new releases at Walmart. My guess is that the next round of closures will be the last. |

Managers are still buying product, but it is only select product. Although, the ones that were coming through vendors have been late getting to the stores. Big titles have been at least a month late.

In other news.... I don't know if anyone here still sees communications anymore. Anyways, the last one I saw threw me for a loop. The company was actually giving an atta boy to a guy who was arrested for putting closing store flyers up. Then I guess this guy was idiotic enough to keep putting flyers up after he was released. Apparently, that was the blockbuster way!

The next step for BB is to shutter all remaining stores. There is no relevant need for stores anymore as the rental industry as a whole is dying. I will admit I do miss by BB days but life is so much better now with no stores in my area. Dish just bought the chain to obtain the name and no more and never really intended to keep a single store open.

I don't work at BB, but I know that Tomb Raider (the new one that was just released for X360/PS3), which was released on a Tuesday, wasn't delivered to my local store until late Friday. I guess that isn't that big of a deal, but even a year ago, I remember how as soon as a game would be released on a Tuesday, it would be on store shelves by 10 AM without fail.
