About SLV VideoSLV Video is locally owned and operated by Steve Kuehl. We do specialty orders for DVD, Blu-Ray, games, hardware items for home theater - all with very competitive sales pricing. Our lenient late policies set us apart from the traditional store model - especially when discs are returned undamaged. We believe in positive owner participation, which includes in-house help with home theater problems. We also utilize video display terminals instead of faded window posters for upcoming and current attractions. We carry the widest variety of DVD titles and the largest ratio of DVD titles per square foot than any store in the County. And of course - the centerpiece of the store belongs to the Criterions...check out their site to see which titles might appeal to your tastes. Only a handful of stores are left in the Country that carry the entire collection (publicly). All New Releases games and films are on sale for low prices - and we will price match any in-County chain store. We now sell more DVDs and games than any other store in the Valley - and we strive to add more titles each week. The disc repair is going awesome! Bring those damaged CDs, DVDs and games down to see if I can fix them for you...free quotes. |

1/23/09 - Latest Vid Bus. Article Independent video stores are weathering the economic storm that sunk Blockbuster Video in Scotts Valley.Blockbuster’s closure two weeks ago was prompted by the cost of corporate franchise royalties and competition from mail-order giant Netflix and big-box stores that sell videos at bargain prices, owner Greg Baty said. Hers is one of four continuing to operate in Scotts Valley and San Lorenzo Valley, and each has its own way of holding on to its share of the local video-rental market. The most unusual video store in the area is SLV Video in Ben Lomond, which thrives because of diversification, according to owner Steve Kuehl. His store, opened five years ago, has what he describes as “the largest selection in the county.” He also sells video games, rents and sells game consoles and will repair customers’ damaged DVDs. “It’s a question of convenience versus quality,” Kuehl explained. “People go to where the quality is.” Gaming is a booming sector of the business, he added. “The games just keep coming,” he noted. “It used to be the customers were 13 to 25 (years old). I now have a 5-year-old customer and one who’s 89.” Local video rentals * SLV Video, 9573 Highway 9, in Ben Lomond — 38,500 DVDs; new releases $4.50 for two nights, others $4.00 for five nights http://pressbanner.com/content/view/2436/42/
1/17/09 - Thank you again SLV Every once in awhile something comes along that really makes me feel good about what I do here...the following was mailed to me this week anonymously...it came when right when I needed a boost (I did not edit in any way):"I wanted to thank you for being one of the finest businesses in our area. It really shows that you are passionate about what you do. You should feel tremendous pride for the job that you are doing, and know that it is well appreciated. Bless you with prosperity. Keep up the good work! Best Regards, The greatfull customers of the San Lorenzo Valley."
8/24/08 - The famous street shot... Customers keep asking about the surveillance camera locations - especially this one. But mostly because the night vision gives it a bustling metropolis look - here it is in the daytime though. We are going to try and get a live Internet feed here soon.

3/1/08 - Why us? Lots of questions lately regarding the obvious expansion of competing ideas in our market. The answers are simple - SLV Video is the best in the Valley in selection, quality, service and product variety - and essentially there are now only two stores left in the Valley (as of this month - there were eight when I opened in 2003).It is a tough industry - but we will continue to show our customers what it takes to survive in a world where some local customers would rather spend their money outside SLV...I hope to prove how important our service and products are to those that frequent or infrequent our establishment...
4/3/07 - A store review... Store review... The following was a review submitted about the store (not a film) from one of our teenage customers and I thought it appropriate to share here..."I am a current customer at SLV Video and I am very happy with the way they do business. It is a very friendly environment which is why I like SLV Video better than the chain stores. They carry the same videos as Blockbuster, but I choose SLV because of the trust and reliability they have. I really enjoy the way they make you feel like a friend and not just another customer. Customers at SLV Video build relationships with the employees, and that makes people comfortable to return for more videos. That is why I like SLV Video.” - Joey S. Thank you Joey...
