Because of new technologies in movie watching, one of many video stores in Central New York will be shutting down.Jim Loperfido, owner of Emerald City Video tried everything to save his store.
“There are none left, we’re the last independent video store in Syracuse,” said Loperfido.
A video store like Emerald City Video is closing due to high competition from big chains like Blockbuster’s Total Access and Netflix.
“Movies get delivered in your mailbox, and with Netflix, you can watch a lot of movies online instantly,” said Holly Rodricks a Netflix subscriber.
Even though some people are sad to see independent video stores closing down, they are still going to stay with Netflix.
“I feel for local businesses but I like my convenience too,” said Rodricks.
