Outlasting the giants

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.

For more on the shop's decade-and-a-half run in Kelowna, including one customer who's rented nearly 5,000 titles from the shop, check out the full story on Castanet's sister business news website, Okanagan Edge.
