Video rental shops

Video rental shops are retail stores where customers can borrow movies and television shows on physical media like VHS tapes or DVDs for a specified period. Customers typically browse a catalog, select titles, and pay a fee for rental. The shop manages inventory, returns, and late fees, enabling entertainment without the need for permanent ownership. While less common today due to digital streaming, video rental shops historically served as a convenient way for households to access a wide variety of movies without purchasing individual copies.
