Jumbo Video

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jumbo Video is a chain of franchised and corporate video stores owned by Le SuperClub Vidéotron, a subsidiary of Quebecor Media Inc..

The company was founded in May 1987. The video game subsidiary Microplay was founded in the late 1990s in order to facilitate the rentals of video games. In 2004, due to financial issues, that had been prevalent for many years the assets of the chain were purchased by Quebecor Media. This resulted in the re-branding of the stores with the current logo.

The chain's previous parent company, Jumbo Entertainment Inc., has been restructured and renamed West 49 Inc. following a "reverse takeover" by the clothing retailer.

Current employees include: James Klein, Rachel Gillis
