I'lit by Wan-Conns Adventureland Video Opens In PL Grove Brent and Connie Smith of Pleasant Grove joined a couple of video tape clubs where they could rent out movies that they could watch on their own T.V. They were, however, unhappy with some of the aspects of the clubs, so they started their own business, with what they think will be some new and innovative ideas. The business is called Adventureland Ad-ventureland Video, and is located next to Roberts Beauty Salon at 70 E. State Street in Pleasant Grove. Smith said that when they opened the business three weeks ago, that they had 250 tapes, and they now have 450. This, he commented, tends to take care of one of the most common complaints of subscribers, in bringing in current movies. Smith also said that if they don't have a movie, that they will bring it in, if possible. Each subscriber receives a current list of movies that they have in stock, he said. "Our rates are the most reasonable in this area," said Smith. He charges $20 to join (which is a lifetime membership), and the $3 to rent the movies. He said that they have video tape players for rent also, at the rate of $1 for weekdays, and $5 for weekends. The selections are as varied as the movies at the theatres. Smith has categorized the tapes into Disney and cartoons, family, comedy, adventure, and main features. Smith said that their business really centers around families, with the majority of his business in the family-type films. At this time of year, he said that the spooky films are the most popular. They will reserve, free of charge, any movie for two weeks, and if you want to see part of the movie to see if you would really be interested, he has a viewing room with a big screen viewer. One little extra will be the popcorn night when all who rent a movie will receive a free bag of popcorn. The entire concept, said Smith, will be to give families and adults the option from what is on the TV, and watching something that they want to watch. The grand opening of the business will be the second week in November, and Smith invites the public to come in and look over their selection of movies. |
