Joe Video

Heartfelt thanks to everyone responding to the closing announcement post. I've been especially touched with the warm messages and memories shared by those of you I had the privilege and pleasure of working with during Joe Video's 17 years, as well as those I worked with even before that. It means a lot to me and is helping me navigate this transition. Best wishes to all for a great Thanksgiving!

Joe Video is closing at the end of 2022

A note from Joe to the many wonderful customers who supported Joe Video over the past 17 years:

It is with no small amount of sadness that I must announce the closing of Joe Video at the end of this year. Aside from the not entirely accurate assumption more and more people make that “everything’s streaming now,” the financial reality of operating a small retail business in an environment where everything from wages, product, commercial space, insurance, etc. keeps going up, makes it unrealistic to expect the store to be profitable enough to sustain any longer.

The planned last day open for the store is on or just prior to December 31st.

Closeout Sale Price Schedule:

Below is a schedule of the graduated sale price markdowns planned through the final weeks. This will be a great opportunity for many of you to acquire your favorite movies and series at prices never before offered in the store.
Please note that there are NO HOLDS on any in-store items.
If it’s here and you really want it, that is the time to buy it.

November 8th – December 10th:

50% off already sale-marked movies (found in the front lobby area), as well as 40% off our normal “floor minimum $8.99 or the current market value if higher” of all “stock” and “7-day New Release” marked rental titles. As usual, discs are inspected for quality and polished if necessary.

December 13th – December 31st:

ALL front lobby sale-priced movies: $2.
ALL remaining rental inventory: $3.

ALL discs sold during this period of the closing sale will be sold “as is” and polishing will not be offered.

Rentals
The option to rent movies and series from the rental sections will still be available at the normal rates and bundles through December 17th. Please be sure to return all rentals within the normal 7-day rental agreement term.
