The store first opened in 1985, long before the days of online streaming. The store held strong as formats changed from VHS to DVD to Blu-Ray. It stood up against major competitors and still did not bend.

In fact, as many of the competitors closed up shop, Video Universe began buying out their inventory. That helped it grow into the video megastore it is today.
