EXETER — Exeter's newest video store is part of a
fast-growing chain that includes about 4,000 stores
across North America.
Movie Gallery opened at Exeter's north end May 6.
Store manager Dominique Bonnot is pleased with the
response from the community so far.
"We're happy," she says.
Movie Gallery, based in Alabama, opened its first store
in 1985. It recently purchased the Hollywood Video
chain in the U.S. and is the second largest video retailer
in North America after Blockbuster. After opening its
first store in Ontario two years ago (in Grand Bend),
Movie Gallery has 39 stores in the province.
Bonnot said there had been talk of opening a Movie
Gallery in Exeter for about a year. Originally working at
the Grand Bend Movie Gallery, Bonnot made the move
to the Exeter store and said she likes the location in the
north end.
"This is kind of the hot spot of town right now," she
says. "Things are going really, really well."
Movie Gallery's main focus is new movie releases and
games, including Playstation 2, Xbox and GameCube.
All movie rentals are for two or seven nights.
Movie Gallery also sells new and previously viewed
movies as well as pre -played games and game acces-
sories.
Hot rentals at Movie Gallery these days include "The
Aviator," "Coach Carter," "Hitch" and "Miss
Congeniality 2." And while Bonnot said there are cus-
tomers who still rent VHS tapes, DVDs are the hot for-
mat and some movies aren't even being released on
VHS anymore.
Movie Gallery recently held its grand opening, during
which one lucky winner won two free rentals a week for
a year.
