About CineVault

The last real video store on Earth. Est. 1998 — Still open in 2025.

More Than a Store — A Time Machine

Founded in 1998 during the golden age of physical media, CineVault has outlived Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, and the entire streaming revolution. We never closed. We never surrendered.

Today we house over 40,000 titles — from VHS tapes you can smell from across the room to the latest 4K steelbooks. Criterion, Arrow, Shout Factory, Japanese imports, banned films, director’s cuts — if it was ever pressed onto disc, we probably have it.

We're open until 2 AM on weekends because movie marathons don’t care about bedtime.
