ChoicesUK
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ChoicesUK was the second-largest chain of DVD and video game rental stores in the United Kingdom - as well as an AIM listed multi-channel distributor and retailer of DVDs, computer games and CDs. The company went into administration in August 2007 after the chain failed to secure refinancing for the business. Unprofitable stores were closed, but a buyer was found for its mail-order and online division. On September 14 2007, Blockbuster GB Limited bought the number of remaining retail stores from ChoicesUK Plc. The sale secured employment for approximately 450 employees across 59 stores in the UK. As part of the transaction, Blockbuster GB rebranded the stores as BLOCKBUSTER.
