What did your Blockbuster turn into, and what is it now?
August 27, 2025
Once your local Blockbuster closes and turned into another store back in the late 2000s, is that store still around now?

I forgot cause Havent lived over there in decades, moved west(still MN)
Ours is a Verizon store.
Mine is now a dentists office
My BB turned into an American Mattress and now it’s abandoned.
The Blockbuster location I live closest to now is a local diner.
The Blockbuster is a AAA.
The Hollywood Video split into Popeyes, dentist, and Subway.
Anytime Fitness Center.
The one I went to as a teen/young adult got renovated and turned into a Starbucks, falafel place, and prosthetics retailer.
Now its an urgent care
Ford dealership
A liquor store. For quite a while it was a liquor store with a Blockbuster shaped sign but they finally got rid of that.
Mine is a hardware store
Ulta.
Blockbuster is an ORileys. 🙁
It’s been a long time since Blockbuster died….
The Hollywood video down the road turned into a Movie Exchange. I actually really love it because they have tons of used movies for good prices, plus videogames, vinyl records, toys, and even a few cassette tapes strangely enough. They kept some do the original wall murals up, like a large dinosaur with spotlights shining on it and a big wall painting of Jim Carry as The Mask. They also up kept the cool angled architecture and the yellows and reds of the old store. Its a neat place.
The old Blockbuster is an Enterprise Rent A Car which I am surprised is still in business.
Half of it is a Snipes shoe store and the other half is a Little Caesars
My state still has the last one!
My neighborhood one turned into a 7-11 though, but I tended to go to a local shop which is still open, or Hollywood Video.
It’s a doc-in-the-box now.
Bingo hall
I lived in between two. One is now an oncology infusion center, and the other is a La Madeleine.
