Your A-List, Best Video Store
In the Netflix Age, video stores must be on their toes — the most thorough inventories, the most knowledgeable staffs, the most convenient rental procedures.Vulcan, which has been around Austin almost as long as video could be rented, has maintained its loyal customer base through these strategies, plus something indefinable — character. You know when you in a Vulcan video store. It won 46 percent of the A-List vote for best video store.
Netflix, which revolutionized the market with its delivery service and lack of late fees, came in second with 17 percent. I Luv Video, another ground-based Austin veteran, came in third at 15 percent. Blockbuster, the chastened chain that once dominated the industry, took fourth with 9 percent. Waterloo Records & Video, which, I believe is getting out of the video-renting game, earned 5 percent.
Pulling in less than 2 percent were The Movie Store, TapeLenders, Austin Public Library, Encore and Hastings.
