Customers could visit their local store, browse the selection of movies, and rent them for a small fee. This business model proved to be lucrative, leading to the establishment of major chains like Blockbuster and Hollywood Video.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_decline_of_movie_rental_stores\"><\/span>The decline of movie rental stores<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite their initial success, movie rental stores have faced challenges in recent years.
