Forget about Blockbuster, which has only one location left (in Bend, Oregon). Another video rental chain is still in operation, renting DVDs and Blu-rays, but many of its locations display the end credits. Family Video, the “biggest movie and game rental business” in the United States, is eliminating hundreds of sites, according to The Times of Northwest Indiana. Over 300 people will be abandoned. According to the corporation, “recent events have prompted us to make some difficult business decisions on its website.”

Art Van Furniture and Mattress businesses have long been a landmark in the Midwest, but the region will have to adjust to life without them. Art Van declared bankruptcy just a few days after the firm announced in early March that it would close all of its company-owned outlets in eight states. According to the company’s complaint, as a result, customers have been lost to Amazon and Wayfair. “Despite our best efforts to stay open, the company’s brands and operating performance have been severely impacted by a competitive retail climate,” said spokesperson Diane Charles in a statement.
