Hastings Entertainment Car Magnet
Take Hastings Entertainment memories on the road with a car magnet that honors one of America's most distinctive entertainment retailers. Based in Amarillo, Hastings grew from 1968 newsstand roots and became a familiar place to browse books, music, movies, games, comics, and collectibles. Though the last stores closed in 2016, the name still sparks memories of discovery, regional shopping trips, and physical media culture. A clear tribute for former customers, employees, and collectors alike.
Hastings Entertainment, also known as Hastings, was an American entertainment retail chain based in Amarillo, Texas. Its roots reached to 1968, when West Texas News began as a newsstand provider and later became part of books-and-music wholesaler Western Merchandisers, Inc. Western Merchandisers became a Wal-Mart Stores subsidiary in 1990, was sold to Anderson Media Corporation in 1994, and subsequently operated as Anderson Merchandisers. Hastings diversified beyond books, music, and video as media retail changed. A 2010 account with Diamond Comic Distributors expanded comic sections across its stores and made Hastings the largest direct-market comic book retailer in the United States. The company also opened Sun Adventure Sport in Amarillo and Lubbock and launched the used-media and electronics concept Tradesmart in Littleton, Colorado, in 2011. Draw Another Circle LLC acquired Hastings in July 2014. After a June 2016 bankruptcy filing and auction, liquidation firms closed all remaining stores by the end of October 2016. Calendar Holdings LLC acquired the Hastings intellectual property.
