Des Moines Register: Video Warehouse, one of the last remaining movie rental businesses in the Des Moines metro area, is closing. The store at 5801 Franklin Ave. is selling off its inventory, including DVDs, a few remaining VHS tapes, shelves and other furniture, and will close when it’s depleted. It expects to shut down in mid-February. Video Warehouse has been a Des Moines institution since it opened in November 1986.
