Abraxas Video

~ATTENTION!~

WE ARE CLOSED INDEFINITELY FOR REMODELING AND REORGANIZATION

We at Abraxas Video want to thank all of our customers (especially our regulars) for their years of support. When we opened up back in 2005 with our relatively small collection, you welcomed us and kept us afloat. Since then, with your help, we have grown that modest collection to the 2nd largest collection of titles in Oregon! You trusted us to bring in the hottest and most interesting titles each week. Unfortunately, the last two to three years have made it abundantly clear that, owing to the current state of physical media, we cannot continue to do that anymore. The sad fact is that most of what you want to see is not (and may not ever be) available on disc. Many Oscar and Emmy winning titles (as well as a great many indie titles) are being produced directly by streaming services, and we feel that this is a trend that is only going to increase with time. For that reason, we are closing our doors for a while.

But Don't worry; the times are changing and we intend to change with them. We will be back after our remodel as "Abraxas Video & More"!

THE CHANGES YOU CAN EXPECT
While we will no longer be able to bring you new titles, we will still be able to connect you with many of the older titles you may not be able to get anywhere else. The rental process will be changing, but the video portion of our business will remain alive and well; it just will not be the core of what we do anymore.

We will be downsizing our collection rather extensively. This is going to make it a bit harder to get some of the more obscure material, but it does mean that there will be a lot more material available for sale for collectors out there.

And then there is the "& More" part. We will be expanding into some other markets. When we reopen, we will also be carrying BACK ISSUE AND NEW RELEASE COMICS, NOVELTY AND COLLECTIBLE PLUSH TOYS, NERDY APPAREL, PROPS, FANTASY COINS, GAMES, 3D PRINTING, AND OTHER FUN COLLECTABLE ITEMS.

WHEN IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN?
It is happening now, but in answer to how long will it take, we don't know. Though we have already laid the groundwork, a transition of this type is going to take time. As the new year starts, we'll be visibly working on it.

Once again, we wanted to thank the community for what has been a good run as a traditional video rental store. We invite you to join us when we reopen our doors.

Please feel free to follow us at Abravas Video on Facebook for additional updates.

Edit: The computer has been replaced, and the new one is up and running. We reopened our doors today.

The computer is not just down, it is dead. We will keep people posted as things develop. We are currently working on trying to get a new computer up and running so we can try to recover more than a decade and a half worth of records. We will need to be closed as we work on this, but as the picture says, if you nave non rental related questions, feel free to call or message and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Abraxas Video will be closed for the next several days in accordance with Oregon COVID 19 isolation guidelines.

Firstly, I would like to assure our customers that I have been observing safe practices at the store and am negative for COVID 19 at the time of this post. If you have done business with us recently, you need not be concerned.

That said, members of my immediate family have recently tested positive for COVID 19, and my proximity to them during their period of quarantine is such that, if our store were to be open, it would pose a risk to our customers. We will, therefore, be closed for at least the next several days.

At this point, we cannot give a specific date on which we will reopen, as that date will change depending on how circumstances progress. What we can say is that we will follow all guidelines, in order to assure that, when we do reopen, we are able to do so safely.

In the meantime, I will be dropping by to check in videos from the return box and making sure that we are still up to date on current titles.

I want to thank the community for their support and understanding and assure you that we will back up and operational as soon as we are able: offering you the widest collection of new and old release movies.

We will be taking a few days off next week to go on a short family vacation. Abraxas Video will be closed Monday June, 28th through Wednesday June, 30th. We will hold hours again on Thursday, July 1st. Any videos due during the time that we are gone will not be counted as late, so long as they get back to us before we close at 6pm on Thursday.
