@hex I've told you about my friend's store in Maryville, The Dungeon at Southland, he wants to do rentals but is afraid it won't be financially viable, but I remember Two cool stores over in Asheville that ran that operation

@Thatonepersonwithaface i feel more and more there’s frustrating with streaming services charging more and still including ads
and there’s always the older clientele that just don’t have the patience for getting the services
i think there might be something here

@hex i can tell you that one store I used to go to (about 15 years ago) would charge a $5 monthly fee for rentals, and $10 for membership buying of dvds, list price for nonmembership purchase.
I do love feeling of sifting through my options, and I've also read Generation Z is really into the blockbuster experience they missed -

i honestly loved that and would want to do something like that

@hex I'd say it'd be right up my alley, and as I said, I know a lot of Gen Z folks who are enamoured with the concept, if you got a popcorn machine like they have at Rural King for folks browsing, I think you'd be in business.
