they seem to still be getting in new releases, at least as of the end of July:

the Alaska blockbuster did close though.

I suspect that what I saw, was about the Alaska store, then.

It's still open. I live in Bend and love going there to rent movies.

My wife and I do a retro date night once in a while where we hit up dandy’s to have burgers and shakes roller skated to the car, then rent a movie from Blockbuster… definitely a fun throwback.

Looks like it's still open, at least based on Google Maps.

Appears the "OPEN" light was on in July of 2021 from street view.

The most recent review on Google, which includes interior photos of the open store, is just 4 days old.

Yeah I live a few blocks from it and it's still open.
