It made it through the first round of closures, but the Blockbuster on Main Street in Airdrie will be gone soon.

The receiver in charge of selling Blockbuster Canada wants a court order to shut down the movie rental company's 253 remaining retail locations, saying Wednesday it had been unable to find a buyer willing to invest in the business.

That will include the location that has sat in Tower Lane Centre for over decade. There are no specific plans at this time, but many sources are suggesting all stores are to be closed before December 31st of this year.

150 stores across Canada were closed back in June. Over 2300 employees will be out of a job.
