One of the UK’s last remaining independent film rental stores is right here in Merseyside, and its achievements cannot be overstated.
Snips Movies in Bebington has been serving the Wirral since 1995, offering families a mind-blowing selection of films. Any movie fan who steps through the door will feel like they’re in heaven, with piles of DVDs from all genres lining every inch of the store, from floor to ceiling.
Movie rental shops like Snips have had to deal with the fallout from the introduction of streaming services over the last decade with the likes of Netflix, Disney Plus and Amazon Prime contributing to the closure of many independent film rental stores. Yes, streaming services are convenient, but nothing can replicate the joy of browsing hundreds of films at an actual shop.
