Video rentals available in many kinds of stores
By Jon Bosch Special to the Kansan
Sitting in front of the television with a rented movie and a bowl of popcorn can be relaxing and rewarding.
But with more than 10 places to rent videos, finding the best deal may be hard.
Some chain stores specialize in video rentals, such as Hastings, in Southwest Plaza at 23rd and Iowa streets, and Blockbuster Video, 1516 W. 23rd St. The stores offer a large selection of movies in many genres.
Videos also can be rented at several area grocery stores, such as Dillons, 1740 Massachusetts St., 3000 W. Sixth St. and 1015 W.23rd St; Checkers, 2300 Louisiana St.; or Hy-Vee, 3504 Clinton Parkway.
Smaller stores are popular because they cater to the surrounding neighborhood and often carry more specialty movies and other items, such as VCR cleaning equipment.
Jennifer Wilson, video manager at Hastings, estimated that the store had 12,000 videos.
A wide selection is important to many customers. However, this attraction can cause congestion problems for customers on a busy weekend.
Hastings will be moving next door, to the former location of Osco Drug, 1900 W. 23rd St. Wilson said the move would give Hastings space to build a larger library of comedy, drama and action movies.
Jamie Najim, Wichita junior, said she liked Dillons because of the selection.
"You can find a lot," she said. "They have a better selection because most people go to the big names, like Blockbuster or Hastings."
Many smaller stores, such as Miracle Video, 910 N. Second St. and 1910 Haskell Ave., rely on local business and offer services or products that larger stores don't, such as laser discs and adult videos.
Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., combines a video store, a cinema and a hall for live events.
Kristi Yaskot, an employee at the store, said Liberty Hall had videos not available in other stores, including foreign films, Japanese animated science-fiction movies, cult films and classics.
Dave Casson, Merriam junior, said he liked Liberty Hall because it was close to his house.
"They've got a large selection," he said. "They've got a wide range of new releases you couldn't find at Hastings or Blockbuster."
