- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoI think that I saw a news story, that it was closed, now. Doesn't mean the trademarks aren't valid, though. Here, there be [legal] dragonnes...
- al_borland 2y agoLooks like it's still open, at least based on Google Maps. https://maps.app.goo.gl/cE9MCA7TZAdwYSkB6 https://maps.app.goo.gl/cE9MCA7TZAdwYSkB6
- jakderrida 2y agohttps://t.ly/Sk3MB https://t.ly/Sk3MB Appears the "OPEN" light was on in July of 2021 from street view.
- dangrossman 2y agoThe most recent review on Google, which includes interior photos of the open store, is just 4 days old.
- davidw 2y agoYeah I live a few blocks from it and it's still open.
- jerrysievert 2y agothey seem to still be getting in new releases, at least as of the end of July: https://bendblockbuster.com/new-releases/ https://bendblockbuster.com/new-releases/ the Alaska blockbuster did close though.
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoI suspect that what I saw, was about the Alaska store, then.
- kirbyderby47 2y agoIt's still open. I live in Bend and love going there to rent movies.
- odie88 2y agoMy wife and I do a retro date night once in a while where we hit up dandy’s to have burgers and shakes roller skated to the car, then rent a movie from Blockbuster… definitely a fun throwback.
- kaoD 2y ago> owned by Dish Network That explains www.blockbuster.com linking Sling TV.
- jakderrida 2y agoI feel like it should instead link to a video in the sling.com domain with almost patronizing instructions on how to convert their login to Sling and promote it as "Your very own Blockbuster at home".
- davidw 2y agoYep - it's a few blocks from where I live. It seems to attract a fair number of tourists.
- solardev 2y agoSeems like there's a few of us in Bend. Anyone interested in a meetup? Hell, maybe at Blockbuster? :)
- HappMacDonald 2y agoI used to go to a board game players meetup at Pappy's and now it's a car wash so I dun want that happening to our Blockbuster next.
- solardev 2y agoLol :)
