Buchheit has announced the opening of its sixth store, this time in Greenville, Ill. The company, which has three Missouri locations - Herculaneum, Perryville and Jackson - and two stores in Illinois - Sparta and Jacksonville - will move into a 72,000-square-foot building in Greenville, Ill., most recently occupied by Value City department store. Value City announced in February 2008 it would close the Greenville store and four other locations in the St. Louis region.

"We feel that Buchheit is a perfect fit for our rural community and are extremely excited and very thankful that Buchheit has chosen Greenville for their newest store location," said Greenville mayor Dave Willey. "We realize that Buchheit could have chosen any number of other Missouri or Illinois towns, and we are very proud that they selected Greenville."

Blockbuster in Jackson has cleaned out their store.

They had thrown all their shelving in the dumpster and were loading counters on to trucks yesterday.

Guess they're history.
