Hollywood Express closing Davis location

Sad. Just sad. And greedy. According to an employee the rent situation is "out of control" therefore Hollywood Express is merging the Davis Sq. stock into their Porter Sq. store. The Davis location will be closed as of July 27. If you have an account and go in before the closing day, you can get a coupon for 10 free rentals to be used by (I believe) September at the Porter location only. Yet another local store pushed out.

Perhaps there should be a guerilla sign-making movement before it opens, plastering the square with "Buffalo Exchange is not a local business. Please don't patronize it."

I just wish it was a local business going in.

Small business (we are a 5 employee store) cannot compete with corporate chains, but, I will not give up! I plan to adapt to my best ability.

How about signs saying simply: "Buffalo Exchange go back to Arizona!" ?
