wow, my old store (right across the street from me) is staying open, but the store several miles down that is STUPID profitable is closing. it feels... right. our store is the cleanest, friendliest, most organized store you'll find in the state. that store is... just a fucking mess.

but they get 20 times more business than us!

If I am looking at that correctly that is 33 stores in the entire state of FL?!! When I was there, they had almost twice that many in Tampa/St Pete area alone!

OOPS

The list shows 8 ... the map shows 0.

My bad.

Still ... that is just crazy.

Ozzie and I will, however, still continue to celebrate. After all, we have waited a long time to see BBi go.

Nothing, of course, against Dish ...

Mom isn't celebrating about some people losing their jobs. You are forgeting that Mom and Ozzie know tons of people that were running Mom and Pop video stores that BBV ran out of business. They are happy that BBV is getting what is coming to them, and I understand why. I work for BBV, and I know that Mom and Ozzie aren't wishing UE on me personally.

Exactly Woodstock, I couldnt have said it better myself. I havent known Mom for a long time and places like Blockbuster and Starbucks unfortunetly have driven out the independant shops. I think the minute I heard they were filing for Ch 11 I went out and looked and looked for a second job, I didnt stop till I found something else, and even though I still work 2 x a week at Blockbuster Im glad Im not depending on that income alone.
