Two locations in my Detroit area (Lakeside Mall and Great Lakes Crossing) also have this promotion still going on.

Another FYE bites the dust. RIP Fort Gratiot Twp, Michigan location (Port Huron). Everything is 20% now to start, closing by the end of January. This was easily one of the best locations in Michigan.

I used to love going to the Great Lakes Crossing Mall. Mainly for their large FYE.

Now there's nothing really their that interests me except maybe their AMC theater.

Many years ago they had probably the biggest one in the country. Now, it's a smaller one that is 95% stuff and 5% media.

Yah......depressing.

Oh, wow! Was a usual stopping trip on my way "up North."

The Fort Gratiot (Port Huron), Michigan location will close on January 26. I was there tonight and the selection is getting low quickly. All movies are now 50% off for new and 60% off for used. Plus the extra 10% off works if you have Backstage. This store always had a good selection, and I was able to find some great deals today with the discounts.

Started clearance at my local store as it will be closing by the end of this month. 90% off new media and 2 for $1 on used media. Got some fantastic deals tonight. The highlight of which was Arrow's release of David Lynch's "Dune" on Blu-ray. No 4K but the blu is sourced from the same 4K master and, for $3, that's good enough for me.

An FYE near me is closing too. I hope to get out there one more time before it does, but I probably won't be able to. Sad day, lots of good memories there. The mall it's in has already been a ghost town for years and this feels like the last nail. They weren't doing any multi-buy used deals last I checked, I only got Hellboy in 4k for about $7 last time I was in a few weeks ago.

Mine is closing too. I've been going there for 31 years. Kinda sad.

I used to have one 5min away, now it’s 100 miles away. Sucks.

[Dellamorte13]

I can't tell if the one near me is closing or not. Is there a list of the stores that are closing?

I'm in Hell, er, I mean California.

I hope you and your family are safe.

My FYE closed last year, I think. Before it was an FYE, it was a Record Town/Saturday Matinee, and at one point they also bought the Camelot Music in the same mall, so I had the fortune of having two FYE's in the same mall. Great times. And then came the Funko's and it all went downhill. When it was Record Town/Saturday Matinee or Camelot, it was a sea of VHS, DVD, and CD's. Tens of thousands of movies and albums. Sure, they carried some McFarlane action figures and other paraphernalia, but it was a tiny percentage of their offerings. When they scaled back the media, they bit themselves in the ass. What's the point of a movie/music shop that barely sells movies and music? They lost their identity and was a shell of its former self. But I cherish those days I could browse for hours in that enormous store.
