Aside from Blockbuster, there is another video rental company that is still in business. Family Video rents out Blu-rays and DVDs, though many of their locations have been struggling recently. According to the Times of Northwest Indiana, it is the “largest movie and game rental chain” in the nation. Sadly, it is now closing hundreds of stores. The company said that “recent events have caused us to make some tough business decisions on its website.” Too bad.

Art Van Furniture and Mattress has been a Midwest institution for a long time. Regrettably, now that it has filed for bankruptcy, the region will have to adjust to its absence. This occurred just a few days after the company announced that all of its stores in eight states would close in March. Wayfair and Amazon have taken away its customers. Diane Charles, a spokesperson for the company, stated in the filing, “Despite our best efforts to remain open, the company’s brands and operating performance have been hit hard by a challenging retail environment.”
