500 Blockbuster Stores to Remain Open Under Dish

To retain a physical presence, Dish Network Corp, the soon-to-be parent company of Blockbuster, announced earlier this week it will continue to lease about 500 retail stores, USA Today reported.

After Blockbuster filed for bankruptcy protection in September, Dish bought the company at auction for $228 million this month. Blockbuster has since closed numerous stores across the country.

Dish has not yet announced its plans for Blockbuster’s brand, stores and streaming-video services.

If Delusional Dish knows what is good for it, it will close ALL Blockbuster stores at once and not keep any open. The stores weighed and continue to weigh Blockbuster down for years and the stores will weigh Delusional Dish down if they're kept standing. Do what the world wants you to do, Delusional Dish, and rid the world of Blockbuster stores. That will see your profits skyrocket.
