Overview
Blockbuster Inc. was established in 1985 in Dallas, Texas, by David Cook and became a household name in video, DVD, and video game rentals. The company rapidly expanded to become a global leader, specializing in extensive entertainment selections and family-friendly store layouts. At its peak in 2004, Blockbuster operated over 9,000 stores worldwide, serving millions of customers and dominating the U.S. market as well as international territories.
Blockbuster introduced mail-order DVD services and various promotions, including no-late-fee policies.
