Movie Gallery to Close


The last remaining movie rental store in Fort Frances is closing.

Movie Gallery Canada says its Scott Street location is among 131 stores across Canada that will be shutdown by the end of July.

Company officials say the move is prompted by strong competition in the video rental market from cable providers, Internet and subscription-based mail delivery services.

The local store has stopped renting movies and is in the process of liquidating its remaining inventory.
