Act of kindness for customer with Down Syndrome: Owner of last video rental store in Pocatello saves portion of collection for ‘Christina’s corner’

POCATELLO – The last video rental store in Pocatello will live on in a small way, only for its most passionate customers. Although Video Stop has ceased all rentals and is liquidating the majority of its collection, owner David Kraning is keeping a small portion of movies and has placed them in a tucked-away corner […]

Kraning knew that closing Video Stop would cause stress in Toni and Christina’s lives, but it had gotten to the point where he could no longer keep it open. As he tried to think of a solution, he realized that he had a corner of his store that he had developed for deli storage originally, but that didn’t take off as he had hoped. “That area was going unused, and I thought, ‘OK, it wouldn’t be too much terrible work to just retrofit it, put some shelving in there, and move some of the movies over, and just create kind of a mini video store corner for this kid, so she still could have her normal routine that she’s used to,’” Kraning said.
