Covid killed the video star: Auckland's last video store to close 15 Apr, 2021 08:07 AM Quick Read The Video Shop in Meadowbank will close next month. Newstalk ZB Auckland's last video store has called it quits. The Video Shop in Meadowbank will close next month. The shop has been trading since 1983, and at its peak had five locations across Auckland. Owner Jan Silk told Heather du Plessis-Allan she has mixed feelings about the closure. "I realise that video has had it's day, but I have enjoyed it so much it's been hard to let it go." Advertisement
She said the decision to close came down to the numbers. “There just wasn’t enough turnover to keep the staff employed and cover the costs, she said. “I probably would have found a way to keep going if I thought we were out of the Covid-19 situation soon, but I think it's going to go on for quite some time.” Silk said she has mixed feelings about the decision to close. “I have got through most of the drama and the sense of loss and defeat to the point where ok, this is where we’ve got to go.”
