What the Heck is ORBIT?

October 13, 2003, Orbit DVD opened as a video rental shop in the heart of West Asheville.

Over the last 20 years, we have doubled down on everything we love: stocking more boutique Blu-ray labels, cult horror, retro video games, strange sci-fi, import films, oddball toys, collectibles, and other curiosities that excite us. And we have been incredibly fortunate to find online communities of people who share our passions.

We have always operated by the motto: "ADAPT OR DIE"

So in 2020, we sadly ended our rental services. However we expanded our product collections, and launched our website. We take pride in our extensive product selection and our team of passionate experts.

So if you're in the Asheville area, we encourage you to stop by. We have walls filled with boutique Blu-rays, VHS tapes, used movies, and a wide array of collectibles stretching wall to wall. If you're a longtime local or just passing through, come say hi and experience the joy of being surrounded by movies.

This website is just a glimpse of what our store is, a true anomaly in the world. And I wish for this site to be an extension of Orbit DVD and West Asheville, this wonderful town I call home.
