"That the number of video stores around the world is on the decline
isn’t exactly breaking news. For the past decade, a range of
options—DVD-by-mail, video on demand, standalone rental boxes, and
online streaming among them—have posed major challenges to the viability
of video stores, rendering the phrase itself an anachronism. But just

doesn’t mean there aren’t some intrepid entrepreneurs (and diehard
cinephiles) taking a cue from their digital counterparts and finding
ways to not just survive in the age of Netflix, but thrive."
More on video stores reinventing themselves as nonprofits.
