“The last Blockbuster in Australia is closing at the end of the month making our Bend Store the Last Blockbuster on the Planet!!!!” Sandi Harding, the general manager of the store in Bend, wrote Monday on Facebook. “Holy Cow it’s exciting😂" That store is selling everything — even parts of itself, as the Blockbuster is literally dismantled. “DVDs, Blu-Rays, shop fittings and fixtures” will be price-tagged, the store wrote.“We all have a kinship with the other Blockbusters,” she told CNN. Harding has been with the company for 14 years and joined the Bend location in May 2005.
