Movie Gallery opened in Blythewood in the late 1990s, serving as a hub for families, students, and neighbors to enjoy movies and video games together. In 2010, we made the difficult decision to close the store due to the decline in physical media rentals and the rise of digital streaming. Even so, the Blythewood location left a lasting mark on the community, and we are proud to have been part of its history.
We founded The Blythewood Economic Development and Tourism with one goal — to make a real difference in our town’s growth and future. Blythewood has the people, potential, and passion to build something extraordinary, and we are committed to helping that vision come to life.
While challenges may arise, our focus will not waver. We stand united in our mission to grow the economy, empower local businesses, and create opportunities that bring people together.
Together with our residents, business owners, and community partners, we will shape a future we can all be proud of. Join us — because when we work together, Blythewood thrives.
