behind-the-scenes at Pittsburgh's premier DVD store

After lengthy and painful deliberation, we have come to the conclusion that we can not afford to keep our Oakland Dreaming Ant location open much longer. We plan on closing our
Oakland doors at the end of the day on January 31st. Our Oakland drop-box will remain available for returns at least until the end of March, however, and possibly until the end of the year...if I can convince our landlord and the other building tenants to allow us this convenience.

Our plans for Bloomfield are to keep things status quo. We will migrate all of our movies to our Crazy Mocha location. We have yet to determine,
however, how to store/display the 5,000+ movie cases currently in Oakland...so any suggestions would be welcome!

It's very sad for me to have to close Oakland seeing as we've all put a lot of time and energy into it, but the reality is that even after two years we have yet to break even. We hope that those whom we did get to know in Oakland will make the short jaunt to Bloomfield.

If you have any questions about this announcement, feel free to either post it in the comments below or email me at dean@dreamingant.com.

Thank you all for you understanding & continued support!

    Really sorry to hear that, and also hope people will make the jaunt to Bloomfield. The 54C is practically door-to-door! And it's a simple walk for the young and spry.

    Anyway, y'all gave it a good run. Business is a funny thing, only without the humor.

    As a frequent customer, I'm very upset to hear this news, and I know that with the development of the convenient, cost effective Netflix, this kind of thing is only going to become more common. Is there anything the Ant-loving community can do to help?
