There's always something I find vaguely amusing about repurposed stores where you can still tell what they used to be.

One near me recently became a gym. The other has been sitting abandoned for over a year

There's building nearby that for the longest time was a Burger King. It then became a Mexican restaurant, then another Mexican restaurant. Now it's a Mexican store.

My local blockbuster was ass. It was ass because the manager was a major asshole, and they never got rid of her. Years ago, when I'd go to rent video games, she'd have STACKS of games behind the counter, and the other employees would practically BEG her to put them out, but for some idiotic reason she insisted on holding them there for up to several weeks after release.

In other words, we never had new release games at our local blockbuster.

None of the other employees understood why she held them back... but she did. Week after week. I even asked her several times about the games stacked up, and her only explanation was a curt "we haven't put them out" and pressed for a reason why, she'd angrily reply "they go out when I say they go out." Eventually, I stopped trying to rent games from Blockbuster.

They are currently being liquidated. Good riddance. Sad for the employees, but the manager ran that store into the ground, which was pretty bad considering they didn't have far to fall, given the competition (RedBox, Netflix, etc...).

Failed Blockbuster Video store

Is there another kind?

My town's former Blockbuster is now split into two. A mattress store and a cash store

A lot of Redboxes seem to be outside of McDonalds, submitter.

Genju: There's a Taco Bell building near me that over the past 10 years has become a swinger's bar. I would call that a move up.

Either way you can get some hot meat there...

And the odds of it being real meat have improved.

When I moved to my town, there was a building right around the corner from me that I could tell had been built as a Wendy's - but by then it was a physical therapist's office.  Then they moved and got a bigger office, and it became a Starbucks.  I don't think of this as an upgrade.

How much do they sell Mexicans for?
