The company in a news release said it has hired Gordon Brothers to liquidate the stores targeted for closure.

The Hollywood Video store at 1026 Patterson Road, Dayton, as well as locations in Springboro and Mason will remain open as will Movie Gallery stores in Blanchester, Germantown, Oxford, Maineville and Trenton.
