“We are Hollywood. We are Entertainment.”

From a single store in Portland, Oregon, Hollywood Entertainment has grown to become an industry leader with more than 2,000 Hollywood Video superstores and more than 700 Game Crazy specialty retail outlets nationwide.

Since the first store opened in 1988, our unique brand of guest service - called "Star Treatment" - and innovation have fueled the growth of the chain across the country. In 1990, Hollywood revolutionized the home entertainment industry with the national rollout of 5-Day Rentals on everything in the store, and again in 1992 with Guaranteed New Releases. In 1999, we launched Game Crazy, a store-within-a-store that gives gamers a place to buy, sell and trade the hottest video games.

In 2005, our growth continued when Hollywood Entertainment was acquired by Movie Gallery, Inc., creating a combined organization of more than 4,500 stores serving urban, suburban and rural markets.

Today, Hollywood Entertainment partners focus on embracing our company Mission, which states: “Hollywood is dedicated to exceptional guest experiences delivered with genuine warmth and friendliness.” Creating exceptional experiences starts with greeting every guest with a friendly welcome, minimizing their wait in line, personalizing the experience and sincerely thanking every guest upon their exit. It also entails having one of the widest selections of movie and game titles on DVD as well as VHS, for rental and for sale, new and used. It means providing our guests with information and resources online at hollywoodvideo.com, gamecrazy.com and reel.com. It also means reaching beyond the four walls of our stores through our Community Spotlight programs and connecting with the communities we call home.

The past success of Hollywood is apparent and the future is bright. If the Hollywood Entertainment story were a movie, the final frame of this action-packed adventure would not read “The End”, but rather “To Be Continued…”
