Another once-dominant chain will soon be no more, as Dish Network have announced that they will be closing all remaining Blockbuster Video stores in the US by early next year. In addition, the Blockbuster By Mail service will end in December.
Despite thousands of locations closing in recent years, Blockbuster still had about 300 locations operating until this announcement. Said Joseph P. Clayton, Dish president and chief executive officer, "This is not an easy decision, yet consumer demand is clearly moving to digital distribution of video entertainment. Despite our closing of the physical distribution elements of the business, we continue to see value in the Blockbuster brand, and we expect to leverage that brand as we continue to expand our digital offerings."
