Forget about Blockbuster, which only has one location left (in Bend, Oregon). Another video rental chain is still in operation, renting DVDs and Blu-rays, but many of its locations have the closing credits displayed. According to The Times of Northwest Indiana, Family Video, the “largest movie and game rental chain” in the United States, is closing hundreds of locations. More than 300 people will be left. The company explains that “recent events have caused us to make some tough business decisions on its website.”

Art Van Furniture
Art Van Furniture and Mattress stores have long been a staple in the Midwest, but residents will have to adjust to life without them. Art Van filed for bankruptcy just a few days after the company announced in early March that it would close all of its company-owned stores in eight states. According to the company’s filing, customers have been lost to Amazon and Wayfair as a result. “Despite our best efforts to remain open, the company’s brands and operating performance have been hit hard by a challenging retail environment,” spokeswoman Diane Charles said in a statement.
