A Boffo Comeback

PROFILE |
 |
From silver screen classics to fresh box office hits, Video Update covers Hollywood. A leading video retailer, the company runs more than 350 stores throughout the US and Canada; most are company-owned and the rest are franchised. Its stores offer rentals of videocassettes, VCRs, video games, DVDs, and game consoles. Video Update also sells candy, blank videos, and used videos and video games. The company has grown through acquisitions, but it has struggled to digest the Moovies chain (closing nearly a third of its 240 stores). Video Update entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy in September 2000 and started selling stores to pay down debt.
