Blockbuster is returning to the UK over a decade after the famous store disappeared from the British high street.

At its peak, Blockbuster dominated the video rental business and had more than 9,000 locations across the world. However, the company struggled to keep up with its competition and filed for bankruptcy in 2010. The remaining stores in the UK were all shut within three years.
