Top Hat Video in Bountiful, the apparent last video rental store in Utah, is set to close in December after nearly 40 years in business.

“We are very sad about this closing,” the business owners said in a Tuesday social media post. “With there being so many ways to consume media digitally, physical media just can’t compete.” Lona and Lee Earl opened Top Hat Video in the early 1980s and slowly built their business into a “community hub,”“We’ve established a really good, loyal customer base,” Lee Earl said at the time. “We have customers that threaten us — ‘If you ever close, I’ll kill you.’”With over 32,000 titles, including new movie releases, classics, family films and tons of TV series, Top Hat has been “a hot spot for cinematic discovery, date nights, insightful conversations, and family outings,” the post read.
