Blockbuster soon to close more stores in the US

Following on from the closures in the UK recently there's more disturbing news from Blockbuster in the USA.

Blockbuster LLC is shuttering 300 stores, or about 35% of its locations in the United States, in the coming weeks due to expiring leases and underperformance, a Dish Network representative confirmed Jan. 21 toHome Media Magazine.

Dish, which acquired Blockbuster out of bankruptcy in April 2011, operated about 850 stores domestically at the end of the third quarter. It announced the closure of 500 stores in February 2012, leaving the company with about 1,000 locations at the time.
