video store
Film lending business
A video store is a retail shop where customers rent or buy movies on physical media—originally VHS tapes, later DVDs and Blu-rays.
Video stores were ubiquitous in the 1980s and 1990s, with Blockbuster dominating the American market.
Streaming services have made them nearly extinct: Remember when we used to browse the aisles at the video store on Friday nights?
