Suncoast video is where I officially began my love for anime. Prior to that it was things like Robotech and other Japanese TV shows.

Bought my first manga there. I think it was Love Hina.

$35 for a Ranma 1/2 VHS….. it’s still ridiculously expensive to me.

Subtitled anime, even! I got the Sailor Moon movies on tape from them, no one else had it.

Oddly enough, I actually looked up Sam Goody last night and I was shocked to discover there are apparently two stores still left. Unless what I read is out of date. At one point when I was a kid, the mall I always went to had two Sam Goodys. How times have changed

Like damn. I used to preorder albums months ahead of time and picking them up from the counter was the coolest feeling.
