For a decade and a half, Leo’s Video in Kelowna has been catering to a slice of the city’s movie lovers, renting out DVDs and Blu-Rays as illegal downloading forced rental giants to close and viewers ditched discs for streaming services.
The independent video store celebrated its 14-year anniversary today with a barbecue and special sale at its Pandosy Street location.
Owner Leo Bartels says the shop has survived by adapting to a changing movie landscape, but a wide selection and passionate staff have helped him along the way.
