Back in the day, there used to be this video rental store by my house. It was called Music Plus. It sold everything from CDs to video rentals. I remember going there with my dad and picking out what movie I wanted to see. (Every time I ended up renting the same movie…Labyrinth.) Eventually Blockbuster moved in a cross the street and Music Plus became closed.
Since Blockbuster opened many smaller music stores have had to close their doors. But it seems that there are still some “Ma and Pa” stores around. You know they would have to have loyal customers for this to happen. BUT with Netflix, it seems almost impossible for these stores to survive. I found the image below from a small video rental store that is still trying to beat out the big company. Netflix is making the small businesses that survived the Blockbuster take over close. You just have to feel bad for the little guy.
This image made me laugh none the less.
