Many of today’s kids will never know the joy of going to Blockbuster on a Friday night and picking out a movie from the “New Releases” section to watch. The beloved video rental chain, which began closing its stores in 2013, announced last week that it would shutter its North Pole, Alaska location, thanking patrons for their many years of support.

 

But Blockbuster isn’t totally extinct yet. Although the once-ubiquitous movie rental company has shuttered thousands of locations across the country (at its height, the company operated some 9,000 locations worldwide), there are still six stores remaining, four in Alaska and two in Oregon.

While you may be surprised to learn that there are even Blockbusters still in existence, the brick and mortar video rental market found its niche in Alaska where the lack of high-speed Internet makes video streaming difficult, and mail delivery DVD rental has fallen by the wayside as Netflix has focused on online streaming.
