Most of them are in Anchorage though.


It gets rural outside of Anchorage very quickly. It wouldn't surprise me if they're primarily on the perimeter of town.

I have a Family Video membership because there's one near my parents' house. Super cheap, good selection and they have tons of snacks. Service is great, too.

I feel like I always walk out of there with a stack of DVDs and junk food over the holidays. Probably how they stay in business.

Shen I first moved to Alaska it tripped me out to see the Blockbuster in mid town.

The internet there is decent, but it's capped and it's expensive as hell. Frick you GCI.

The last 4 El Paso stores closed in the spring of this year.

The article is an interesting 2 minute read about the death of Blockbuster and its remaining franchises.
