Page 8 Countdown DAYS until Harvest Recess City Engineer Kit Wareham announced during Wednesdays city council meeting that Hastings, a multimedia superstore, is coming to Cedar City. Hastings will occupy the empty space where Kmart used to be, Wareham said. This will be a great location for the store. Rumors had been circulating that Staples, Target, Best Buy or Media Play might soon occupy the space. City Manager Jim C. Allan said he was happy to hear the news. Hastings will be very popular with the students here, he said. I know they have one in Logan, and its quite popular with the USU students up there. Hastings sells books, CDs, videos, DVDs, video games, video game systems, computer software, board games and novelty items. Some Cedar City bookstore employees said they think it will be good to have another bookstore in town. I say the more the merrier, and another store is fine for people who collect books or live closer to Hastings. said Kami Tullis, an employee at Mountain West Books. I know well stay around because we have a lot of LDS books here that Hastings probably wouldnt supply. e Michele Braun, owner of Braun Books, agreed. I dont think it will affect us because we have a lot of used books that are and unavailable anywhere else in town, Braun said. Weve also been around for 13 years, and theres always been a strong customer base here. Kim Wood, Hollywood Videos assistant manager, said she doesnt think Hastings arrival will be that big of a threat for her store. It wont really affect us because people know the Hollywood Video name and how we specialize in movies and video games, she said. We usually have the widest selections because we mainly carry just videos, DVDs and video games.
