On the main street of a small Saskatchewan town - fittingly in  
a building that used to be a movie theatre - sits what may be  
one of the last video rental stores in the province.

Earl Hayhurst has run the Video Stop in Watrous for nearly 33 years.

"[I] love movies. Always have. Always will," Hayhurst said. "So
I got into the right business many, many years ago. I still
enjoy it, even though I don't make any money anymore."

"Some of the younger visitors to his store are likely seeing a  
video rental place for the very first time, he says.

"They've never seen a video store. They walk around kind of
stunned at what they're seeing. And they don't understand
because they have no concept of it."

[...]

"I've lasted more than 10 years longer than Blockbuster and  
Rogers, so there you go."
