GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Set down a drink and cue up a memory with a Blockbuster Ceramic Coaster. The theme honors the movie-rental chain founded in Dallas in 1985, a place remembered for blue-and-yellow signs, VHS aisles, DVD walls, game rentals, and the excitement of a weekend new release. For collectors, movie lovers, and fans of physical media, it adds a recognizable piece of rental-store history to coffee tables, desks, and home theaters.
Blockbuster Video began when David Cook opened its first store in Dallas, Texas, on October 19, 1985, stocking 8,000 VHS and 2,000 Beta tapes. Cook had previously founded Cook Data Services in 1978 and moved into video rental after leaving a Dallas Video Works franchise. The blue-and-yellow store grew through franchising and rapid expansion under investor Wayne Huizenga, who acquired stores and rivals including Major Video. Blockbuster bought Erol's in 1990, added Sound Warehouse and Music Plus in 1992, and acquired Super Club Retail Entertainment in 1993. Viacom acquired Blockbuster for $8.4 billion in 1994. The retail brand was renamed Blockbuster in 1996, when headquarters moved from Fort Lauderdale to Dallas. Blockbuster later added DVD-by-mail, online rental, video-on-demand and game offerings, reaching 9,094 stores and 84,300 employees worldwide in 2004. Competition from Netflix, Redbox and video on demand contributed to its decline. Blockbuster filed for Chapter 11 protection in 2010; Dish Network acquired its remaining stores in 2011. Corporate-owned U.S. stores closed by 2014, while a franchised Bend, Oregon, store remains open.

Ceramic coaster engraved with a simple, vintage-style wordmark that brings a quiet, archival charm to a coffee table or office desk. The cool ceramic top takes heat and condensation with calm confidence while the cork backing keeps cups steady and surfaces safe. It sits easily beside a well-loved mug during long work sessions or late-night reading, a small, steady surface that feels both practical and quietly nostalgic.
