HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Family Video is closing its doors. The once popular video chain announced Wednesday that it was closing the remaining 250 stores including the one in Hutchinson.
Each store will hold liquidation sales, offering deals on movies, video games, CBD products and store fixtures.
Like other video store chains streaming services and other online rivals ate into business. But the last stake through the heart was the pandemic driven shutdown in March along with the shutdown of most filming and production of movies.
Founded in 1978, the chain started in 2020 with 510 locations, but had to close roughly half by the end of the summer.
