Movie Gallery Inc. plans to close six of its Hollywood Video and Movie Gallery stores in the Dayton area as it restructures itself through federal bankruptcy proceedings.

The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from creditors on Tuesday, Feb. 2, and said 760 stores were slated for “immediate” closure, but will go through liquidation sales.

According to its Website, Wilsonville, Ore.-based Movie Gallery said it plans to shutter the following locations:

Hollywood Video, 3010 Harshman Road, Dayton.
Hollywood Video, 6410 Wilmington Pike, Sugarcreek Twp.
Hollywood Video, 1027 S. Main St., Centerville.
Hollywood Video, 3500 Towne Blvd., Middletown.
Movie Gallery, 1310 N. Barron St., Eaton.
Movie Gallery, 685 S. Main St., Monroe.

The company in a news release said it has hired Gordon Brothers to liquidate the stores targeted for closure.

The Hollywood Video store at 1026 Patterson Road, Dayton, as well as locations in Springboro and Mason will remain open as will Movie Gallery stores in Blanchester, Germantown, Oxford, Maineville and Trenton.
