Video Store's Final Rental: A Lifetime Membership for One Special Customer

When Jon Meyer decided to close his video store in Nampa, Idaho, he faced a difficult task. He had to tell his most loyal customer, Christina Elias. Christina, a woman with Down Syndrome, visited "The Uplift: Christina's Corner" every week. She loved browsing the shelves. The store was a cherished part of her routine. Meyer wanted to make sure Christina did not miss the store. So, he made an extraordinary offer. He gave her his entire remaining collection of over 2,000 DVDs for free. Now, Christina has a personal library. Meyer and his wife delivered the movies to her home. They sorted them by genre to recreate the feeling of the store. This act ensured Christina's corner would continue, just in a new place. For Meyer, it was the perfect happy ending before closing his doors for good.
