World’s Last Blockbuster Video Is Still Going Strong 

Just remember that Blockbuster had the chance to buy Netflix for 50 million back in the 2000s but turned them down.

I can't believe they went bankrupt after all the late fees they charged me.

Customer: “You gave me a broken DVD, I’m calling corporate!” Manager of last blockbuster: “I am corporate”

Brings back so many memories. Still can’t believe it,

We need to keep this store alive at all costs

Imagine asking this lady “What do you do for a living” Her answer:

I read the title as “World’s LARGEST Blockbuster” 😂 which technically is true

Omg that feeling of walking through a Blockbuster on Friday night was everything as a kid... 😊😊😊

I hope they aren't paying any franchise fees.

DON’T LET THE FLAME DIE OUT

"And most popular rental is, "Contagion" and "Outbreak" "...she said with a faint smile...wow

Netflix: Oh, I...I thought you were dead? Blockbuster: My death was...greatly exaggerated.

I miss going to the video store on Friday’s an getting a game an movies 😢

Coronavirus: *shuts down businesses* Blockbuster: *This is fine.*

Man, blockbuster was my favorite place as a kid. Friday nights having the boys sleep over to play some video games, watch some movies and the parents leaving you a 20 for some dominos while they went out for the evening . Feels like it was a whole different world.

“I miss blockbuster” _binges Netflix_

Plot twist: after the pandemic is over, she's going to buy Netflix for sure.

This hits me right in the feels. So many memories with my family going to my local Blockbuster every Friday after I got out of school to get a movie and game for the weekend.

Who else wants blockbusters to have more stores again? I DO!

I seen *Blockbuster* and I automatically clicked, damn I miss Blockbuster! Who else Here misses Blockbuster?

"I'd rather die rewinding than live on my late fees"

I still miss going to a Blockbuster . Now everything is designed so that we do not have to leave our homes.

I remember I used to go to Blockbuster back in the day when I was a little girl. Grabbing a movie every Friday Night with my Stepdad & then grabbing a couple of snacks. Ah, good times.

I am mad jelly. The Blockbuster near me closed years ago. I remember going to Blockbuster with the fam at around 8/9pm. Driving up to the parking lot and the giant Blockbuster logo would illuminate on the windshield of the car seeing the reflection of the logo. We would spend hours in there just because of the smell of the carpet and the snacks as well the plastic of the VHS boxes. We would rent 5-6 movies/games at a time, especially franchises like Star Wars etc etc. And after spending hours, we either get an ass ton of snacks from the cash register section from popcorn to candy to soda or we would go right next to the Blockbuster and get delicious ice cream from Dairy Queen and speed on home before the ice cream melted, so we can and watch the movie. Blockbuster was so fun I never racked up any late fees since I always went there. I still have my Blockbuster card and DVD that I never returned because I couldn't since they closed. But man, BRINGS BACK THE MEMS!!!!!

Corona: I’m not afraid of you Block Buster: then you will die braver than most

The last blockbuster for the 90's kid to see

Protect this facility at all cost.

Back in the fall of 1993 I remember renting "Mortal Kombat" for the sega genesis every Fridays after school until I finally got it for Christmas that year.

Assistant Manager: We're not going anywhere. The last Blockbuster will stay alive forever. Android Box has entered the chat.....

Wow seeing this brought back good memories. This is amazing yes love it

Day 50 of quarantine: RU-vid has taken over my life

I remember Blockbuster back in the days.

The world is changing, they failed to adapt, it’s the circle of life

Barber shops: non essential Last blockbuster: 100 percent essential. Can’t have a functioning society without it.

If someone asked me where I worked and I replied with “Blockbuster” the amount of questions that will follow is probably ridiculous 😂

I was waiting for Randy marsh to appear LMAO

Got to applaud their commitment on keeping the costumers and themselves safe.

I remember when we couldn’t find a movie so We went across the street literally to Hollywood video 😂

I always feel nostalgic whenever I pass by where my blockbuster used to be 🥺

This is more like a museum with artifacts of an ancient civilization called the 1990s.

Netflix: Blockbuster. Casualty reports have you listed as- Blockbuster: Yes, well as they say, news of my death has been greatly exaggerated.

God I still remember going in there and seeing all the shelfs of movies

i hope they make this a musuem when it closes 😢

Blockbuster before: OVER 9000! Blockbuster now: 1

It’s all fun in games until they start charging late fees

i miss physically looking at movies instead of scrolling through a website. it's getting to the point where they don't even want us to leave our homes. pretty soon we're gonna look like the people in Wall-E

I'm amazed that they've been able to last for this long, let alone adapting to COVID19 conditions.

I hope you're all laughing at the ridiculous and illogical COVID protocols that individuals and business owners blindly followed in 2020 (which decimated so many livelihoods). What a joke. Happy to see the Blockbuster, though!

Im a Manager at the last video store in my County in California and were forced to close cause of the shelter in place order. Hope we make it through this 🤞

They were massive in Australia back in the day

I miss going to blockbuster to rent movies as a kid, and as a young adult too.

1:00 whoever made the choice to rent terminator 3 should be permanently banned

I used to work at blockbuster. I'm literally crying, I had no idea the bend oregon location was still open!

I like how this store is essential but a barber shop isn’t.

Is it just me or is that blue and yellow logo super nostalgic

We all know that we never returned some of our rented games/movies.

This is truly the holy land. The most sacred place on earth. Pure happiness.

Netflix kinda sucks. It only has series that PREMIER on it, not any show or movie. In Blockbuster you can buy any movie you want.

Glad still going strong brings back so many memories

I need to support this store! I miss Blockbuster 😭 Every weekend with my dad and sister, it was part of our little ritual to pick up some movies and maybe some games. I liked just wandering around the store and looking at everything. Blockbuster will always be a part of those memories. 💙💛

I refuse to die until I go to the last Blockbuster Goddamnit!

It must survive forever, the last blockbuster on the planet is legendary

I think they should bring blockbuster back I want to see how many people will go in

America needs to keep this store open !

Lmao at the whole Covid hysteria…what will this look like in 20 years…how embarrassing it all was

I’d honestly love to have that long sleeve shirt the guy is wearing , what a childhood memory

I'm proud that Blockbuster in Bend, Oregon is still around, and I want it to stay in business. 🤩 I grew up with that company. I used to rent and buy movies from the company, and I'm sad the Blockbuster Video near my hometown is gone for good. I wish it would return again. 😞

I miss that store 😫😰😭

As convenient as streaming is... you cant replace the actual "event" of going to blockbuster... the bright walls of new releases, picking through all the old movies to find favorites. The thought of buying and walking out the door with a brand new movie which you would watch over and over. The smell, the snacks and candies, the collectibles! It was the warm-up for a night of family fun, sometimes you spent so long in there it was the family fun. I managed a store in Scottsdale for a while and I used to bring my kids in for an hour to help me check in the returns... they would dive into the return box like it was a ball pit. The feeling of opening all those DVD boxes and snapping them shut was my favorite part... you got so fast at it, you would do a handful of 10 or more at a time! Blockbuster I miss you so! Bend, appreciate what you have and never let it go!

It's actually kind of sad that there's only 1 blockbuster left.

Blockbuster didn’t just turn down Netflix’s offer all those years ago they laughed them out of the room...

Wow. How has Blockbuster not returned?! If the last one is still around why don't they just start over?!

-10 yr old me opening the hatch outside to return the movies, and feeling that nice cool breeze from inside-

Ahhhh, Blockbuster. It was such a magical place when I was younger.

It's hard to believe there were 3 in my neighborhood 18 years ago.

Man seeing this brings back memories. Who remembers Movie Time?

I'm happy to see this business find a way to survive and everyone practicing safe measures. Congratulations.

That’s crazy this is the last Blockbusters 🍿🎬

I remember when I rented MegaMan X3 and Kirby‘s Adventure wayback in the day! Dang those were some good memories...

I still need to plan my vacation to Bend, Oregon one of these days. The closest Blockbuster to me is now Sesloc Federal Credit Union

This is still going because it’s an antique. Takes me back to a time when I would walk down to Blockbuster and video games. Not the most convenient thing to do but people still got off the couch and got a little bit of exercise .

When I was a kid, I came in 2nd place in a Mario Kart tournament at our local Blockbuster. My best friend came in first.

*"Blockatar: the last Blockbuster"*

I love streaming still but it still doesn't have that same vibe as walking into a blockbuster I mean choosing out a movie is a sacred experience!!!

We had a Mcdonalds next to ours back in the day. Fridays used to be dreamy

this is my chilhood

Man..Seeing the inside of a blockbuster again brought me back to simpler times.

It had to suck working a job like this during the lockdowns.

Blockbuster went from a nationwide conglomerate to a mom and pop shop lmayo

Man the memories! Blockbuster and ordering food and chilling as a family on a Friday evening. Such simple times and yet they were the best.

Too bad they turned down Netflix. They'd have WAY more than one

Do the employees carry guns? I saw a family guy episode where Peter took his family to the last Blockbuster and the employees threatened him with shotguns after he tried to rent a movie.

I miss Blockbuster. So many happy childhood memories.

I ain’t seen a blockbuster since I was a little kid😧this is so nostalgic 😂

I can't believe Blockbuster is still here. I thought it would've gone belly up.

protect this store at all costs

Can you teach all the other stores to do this because they’re not getting the message!

I still got their DVD's after 10 years, never paid a late fee. Just like how I never turned in my library books.

I’ve been to this Blockbuster before! I live in Oregon and went to bend a lot of times. It’s pretty cool!

These bring back great memories. It was always just my mom and I and we’d go in buy pizza, popcorn, snacks rent 3 movies one for Friday, sat, and Sunday. Those were the times. No wonder my cousins wanted to come over and chill 😄good times
