Numerous Blockbuster Stores In The US Are Also Closing

After it emerged last week that Blockbusters would be closing numerous stores in the UK many thought that the US-branch of the company would not have to experience any issues similar.

It has been reported however that Dish Network, who purchased Blockbuster in 2011, will be closing 300 stores which means an estimated 3,000 people will be out of a job.

Added to the store closures in the UK this equates to 460 stores being closed across both countries with many, many jobs lost in the process.
