Continuing the de-storing of packaged media retailing, filings in the Blockbuster bankruptcy case indicate that around 600 stores will remain after the Dish acquisition, according to the Dallas Morning News. The chain was slated for around 1700 stores just a couple of weeks ago (see “Judge Approves Blockbuster Sale to Dish”), so over 1000 additional stores will now be closed. In 2004, Blockbuster had 9000 stores.
