Let's hear some more recommendations.

As a former employee of Movie gallery they are a doomed venture. They are everything that is wrong with being coorporate and nothing right (read: making money.)
When I was a GM (only 9 months) they completely ignored what generated the local revenue (porn and older, classic movies) and demanded all stores adopt the same look, inventory, emphasis, etc.
Even as a n00b in management I could see they were set up to lose money and had two regional GM's (read: competant ones) hired away by BB for much more money...
