Other persons George Atkinson refimprove date July 2008 George Atkinson June 2, 1935 March 3, 2005 is the father of the storefront video rentals video rental store. In the fall of 1977, George Atkinson bought one Betamax and one VHS copy of each of the first 50 movie titles from Magnetic Video , which were then being sold to the public by direct mail. Announcing the availability of the videos for rent in a one column inch 25 mm ad in the Los Angeles Times in December 1977, Atkinson launched the first video rental store, Video Station, a 600 square foot 56 m storefront on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles . In order to raise capital, Atkinson charged 50 for an annual membership and 100 for a lifetime membership, which provided the opportunity to rent the videos for 10 a day. Atkinson was soon threatened with a lawsuit for renting the videos, but discovered that U.S. copyright law gave him the right to rent and re sell videos he owned. The battle to protect the public s right to rent videos was a major catalyst for the establishment of the Video Software Dealers Association in 1981. Atkinson established the first major chain of video specialty retailers The Video Station. At its peak, the chain had over 600 affiliates throughout the U.S. and Canada. He called these independently operated stores affiliates rather than franchises, not only in order to get around California s franchise tax but also because he didn t believe in putting his hand in someone else s cash register. The company eventually went public but Atkinson resigned as president in 1983. He was the first Video Man of the Year 1981 , named Video Retailer of the Year in 1982 and inducted into the Video Hall of Fame in 1991.
