Video rental stores are making a comeback in Minneapolis
Twin Cities movie buffs nostalgic for the days of Blockbuster will soon have somewhere to rewind. The big picture: After three years of pop-ups at local markets and theaters, nonprofit Saturn Video will open the metro's only video rental storefront next month in Minneapolis' Seward neighborhood. Why it matters: As streaming prices rise , digital licenses lapse and online archives disappear , many cinephiles and casual movie fans are returning to physical media for guaranteed access to both new and beloved films. State of play: The metro hasn't had a permanent video rental store since 2023, when Video Universe in Robbinsdale shut its doors in part due to a lack of new physical media . Pop-up and member-supported operations like Sloppy Discs and Ant Hill Video have cropped up in its place, but Saturn Video will be the first to open a physical storefront. What she's saying: "A lot of media is already gone from the Internet, and I think people are waking up to the fact that streaming is amorphous — the catalogue is always changing, and even if you buy a movie, they can take it away from you," owner Sierra Parham told Axios.
