Staff hang a closing sign at the Blockbuster Video store at 570 Portage Avenue on Thursday, May 26, 2011. The location at Portage and Young Street is one of about 146 stores that will close its curtains after the chain went into receivership. Blockbuster Canada operates 400 rental stores across the country, and employs about 4,000 people. An estimated 1,400 staff will be affected nationwide by the planned closures. In Manitoba, 11 out of the 19 locations will close. (JEFF BISHOP PHOTO)
