Movie Xpress

Blast from the past. I take my kids in so they can see how we used to get movies in the olden days. They pick up the DVD boxes like artifacts in a museum. My son asked me «how do I turn it on?», as he searched for the power button and the LCD screen. The owner is very nice but living in a bygone age.
Very cool Olde Shoppe.

Kinda hard to rate since I’ve rarely rented a movie ever since Blockbuster went out of business; ppl now just online lol.
So have to give credit to the owner for still sticking this through, who knows how long…
maybe his Mobilicity cell phone sales may help lol.
2 days rentals on new movies, $ 5.25, within a year release.
Over that, it’s same price for 7 days.
free parking in the westview plaza.

I’ve been to this place a couple times. While I do support local businesses but I just don’t see how this business is still running after all this time.
The last time I’ve been here, I went there to see what kind of stuffs they have. Unsurprisingly, I kind of sensed that this place was not a good store to visit. Their prices are kind of expensive. They sell /​rent movies, games, and pornography. I mean, they do have many of the videos you would normally expect to see.
But unfortunately with the prices they charge, I don’t think I would want to do business with them. I remembered their prices for renting was like $ 8 or more for a couple day rental or something like that. Also if you wanted to buy a movie, I remembered their prices being as high as $ 15 or more for a single or 2 copies.
With the way that the online streaming are going and how inexpensive DVD’s are nowadays, like $ 5 at Walmart and sometimes even cheaper prices at large chain stores, no one’s gonna bother going to this place to rent movies from them except for those who doesn’t know how to use the internet for online streaming videos or just wanted to watch a movie on the big screen but only has a DVD player hooked up and didn’t want to keep a overstacked amounts of movies cluttering up their place.
Also the other problem was the last time I was there, the clerk that was working there at the time didn’t even bothered to greet me, if I noticed correctly, he didn’t even bother to look up at me to acknowledge me. I was there for like nearly 10 minutes and he didn’t even bother to see if I needed help with anything and there wasn’t even anyone else in the store the entire time I was there either. THERE’S SOMETHING CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
So despite how I don’t like seeing a local business going down the drain because many people’s dreams was to have their businesses but I can definitely see how this place is going to go down into the ground with the way they provide their services before the decade is over.
