Recruiting Film Buffs. MOVIES! The Store, now MOVIES! On Hiatus, is planning another revival. The eclectic Montrose-area film store closed its retail operation in early October, had been whimsically replaced by MOVIES!

Arcos says he would like to reopen the retail store within six months to a year, “but that all depends on recruiting additional investors, negotiating terms, locating a new space, and agreeing on the best business plan for the new store.” He asks individuals interested in being a part of the new store to e-mail [email protected].
