So reads one of many signs in front and in the windows the Plymouth Blockbuster store (Sheldon & Ann Arbor Roads.)
That the story is closing — and this news, I know, is weeks old at this point — is no real surprise. Blockbuster has been in financial trouble for a few years. I imagined a year or more ago that our Blockbuster would close and, well, here we are. She’s all but gone.
I’m probably a bit late in talking about it, but there is a massive fire sale going on now. When I was in there on Sunday, the place was heavily picked over. But my family was still able to find some seasons from a few TV shows we like and a few movies. I think we spent about $28, which was something like a $1.50 a disc. The store is also selling off shelving, TVs, things like that.
It won’t hurt to stop by. You might find a gem or two.
