Covington’s Blockbuster store is closing­ — along with all 300 or so corporately-owned stores across the country — after a long run that left it as one of the few remaining brick-and-mortar locations in the state. The store will remain open for normal operations, including rental of movies and games, through Saturday and then close for a week of reorganization before opening in full-sale mode next Friday, Nov. 15, according to customers who spoke with the store’s employees. The amounts of discounts were not being released.
