Family Video, Waukesha location
MILWAUKEE - After 42 years in business, the last of the Family Video stores will soon be closing. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lack of movie releases are both contributing factors in the decision.
The news came in a Facebook post on Tuesday, Jan. 5.
In a message to employees and customers, Family Video thanked everyone for their support over the last four decades. They said in a news release that Family Video survived "10 years longer than the big 3, Blockbuster, Movie Gallery and Hollywood Video."
