Never mind Blockbuster, which only has one store left (in Bend, Oregon). Another video rental chain is still in business, renting DVDs and Blu-rays, but many of its locations show the closing credits. 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
The Midwest’s Art Van Furniture and Mattress stores have long been a fixture, but the region will have to adjust to life without them. Art Van filed for bankruptcy a few days after the chain announced closing all its company-owned stores in eight states in early March. As a result, customers have been lost to Amazon and Wayfair, according to the company’s filing. “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.
