Naw, that's new. I drive by there every week and the last time I drove by, the signs still said "Accepting new memberships" or something like that. I'd love to say I'll miss video rental stores, but I can't.

I think this place has been open a while now, but has anyone tried The Silver Screen Café on Wade Hampton Boulevard? I love the concept and the menu looks good, but the location seems odd. They're in the strip mall with Pho 99, near BJU.

I noticed this last Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday since I was driving to GMH. Shouldn't come as a big surprise to anyone here.

This doesn't bode well for our Simpsonville location...

It's never a major surprise when a video place closes nowadays.. But.. I would have thought the Mauldin Rd location would be one of the last survivors (Until the whole chain went under)

That's a pretty good location for any style business.. Don't expect it'll stay on the market too terribly long.

We tried to go to the Pho 99 place (they were closed) and saw it. Have driven by it numerous times as well, but never stopped to see what it was. From your post I looked at their website. I love the names of their menu items, you can definitely appreciate the wit, and humor. What really got me laughing was the Dinner and a Movie page. Now, I REALLY want to try this place!!!! You have to see the video on this page. OMG! This guy's a hoot!

That's a tough location to access, but should do well there since there are few breakfast places in Simpsonville.
