Hastings Entertainment Vanity License Plate
Put Hastings Entertainment nostalgia on display wherever your vehicle is parked. This vanity license plate honors the Amarillo retailer that helped make browsing for books, music, movies, games, comics, and collectibles a regional tradition. With roots reaching back to West Texas News in 1968, Hastings stayed connected to physical-media fans until its 2016 closure. A standout piece for garages, game rooms, media spaces, and collectors who remember the store as a favorite destination.
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.
