Family Video

Did you know there's still one functioning video rental store in the state?

Since Elon Musk is on a buying spree, let's see what he could improve in Michigan.

If you've driven up on Gull Road recently, you've seen the activity out front of the old Family Video building, the first action ANY Family Video has seen in at LEAST a year since all of them closed permanently in January of 2021. But with property at a premium lately, it was just a matter of time before SOMETHING made its way into that space.

The video rental stores adapted from VHS to DVDs and Blu-Ray, then branched out into cell phone repair and CBD oil, but streaming was the death of Family Video.

The surprising fact may be that the video rental chain will still have more than fifty locations that remain open in the state. How is Family Video surviving in 2020?
