I watched this cinemassacre video earlier today:
It made me think there is a demand out there for the old school video store. Not large scale but from a smaller crowd of enthusiasts and people nostalgic for the old video store experience. The store they covered has taken a smart approach in running a physical video store in 2019 - make it a shrine to movies with insane selection, memorabilia and even a cinema. All things you can't get on a streaming service along with the obvious physical interaction. It's an experience that can't be recreated in the digital space.
So it's possible that more of these stores will pop up a lot like adult arcades have for the same reasons - nostalgia and the experience for those who grew up with them.
What do you reckon?
