Owner of UK's only surviving DVD rental store says shop is booming 40 years later | SWNS

This is awesome. Next time I visit the UK, I will absolutely give this place some business. Physical media is king.

I can understand why - having subscriptions to most of the streaming channels (for the children) my daughter attempted to find The Grinch; thinking it would be included. No. We can buy or rent it; having disposed of our DVDs years ago 😂 🤦‍♂️

Good on ya ✌🏼❤️

DVD was released in 1998. So, 26 years ago. Not 40.

[@SVD978]

They rented out videos and betamax before that. So, yes, 40

[@hughmiller925]

@SVD978 As the establishment of a buisness, yes. As one that specifically rents DVD's, as in the title of the video, No.

[@elbee909]

@@hughmiller925 There's nothing in the title that states it's only ever rented out DVDs. Good try though.

[@hughmiller925]

@elbee909 it specifies UK only surviving DVD RENTAL STORE, not mixed media, VHS/Betamax rental store. In the title, no other media format is mentioned, in the video it elaborates to include it's establishment in 1984. Good riposte though.
