:: Unofficial Waconia Minnesota ::

The other day I noticed that the RedBox at Holiday now has Blu-Ray DVDs! I think that all RedBoxes are getting them, but I’m not sure

Blu-Ray DVDs are only $1.50 a night which is a great deal!

RedBox isn’t the only way to rent movies for $1 a night anymore. Blockbuster Express is the same idea, only in a blue box.

The Blockbuster Express machine is located at Kwik Trip and, from what I know, works the same way as RedBox does with no memberships and only a dollar a night rentals.

It wasn’t that long ago when there were no RedBoxes at all. Now the cheap and easy movie rental service has 4 locations in Waconia.

Where are they?

• Mackenthun’s (inside)
• McDonalds (inside)
• Wallgreens (outside)
• Holiday (outside)

That’s great news for people who like to rent movies for only a $1 a night, but not so good news for the video stores in town who have to be hurting from the ever expanding Redboxes.

Now, I can’t say I’ve ever stopped by to catch a tan, but we go rent movies almost every weekend. They have a good selection and a very clean store. The staff is nice to and late fees are cheap on non-new releases.

You can rent DVDs, some VHS, PS2 games and Xbox games. They even have a small selection of tv series’.

New releases are $3.25/night and regular movies are 1.25/5 nights. Tans start at $6 and go up from there.

This is by far the nicest video store in town.

Hours: Seven days a week 10am to 10pm
