First Redbox Comes To The Flomaton/Century Area
April 18, 2012
Flomaton and Century have been abuzz the past few days over a new Redbox movie rental kiosk that is now up and running in Flomaton — the first in that immediate area.
The kiosk is located in front of the Dollar General Store on Sidney Manning Boulevard. That is just a few feet from, somewhat ironically, the former location of Movie Gallery and a subsequent independent movie rental business.
When the bankrupt Movie Gallery closed two years ago, industry analysts said the company’s demise was due to the popularity of the online rental service Netflix the standalone Redbox kiosks.
Movie rentals at a Redbox kiosk are $1.20 per day, $1.50 for Blu-ray and $2 per day for games.

It would be nice if they could put the lottery in one of those boxes. Those lotto fiends
could then engage themselves without delaying everyone else.
oh wow Century and Flomaton is moving up in the world…very slowly…they are just getting a red box…..lol…..”Reckon we’ll get on of dim derr movie cds baby if we can figure out how to work that there red box”…..
It’s kind of sad that a video box gets people in this area so excited.
How long before the machine is ransacked or it becomes a spot for targeting victims for various crimes?
i can see the long line now ……
I wish they would put one in Walnut Hill…maybe at the crossroads??!!
FINALLY!!!!! These things have been around for y*e*a*r*s! Congratulations Century/Flomaton.
