DVD and Blu-ray rental company Redbox is shutting down its Canadian operations and pulling its rental kiosks out of Canada.

Chicago-based Redbox says it made the decision to close its Canadian operation after failing to generate sufficient business at its 1,400 rental kiosks across the country.

In a telephone interview from Los Angeles, company president Mark Horak says the last date for rentals will be Feb. 13, with the last return date on March 5.

Most of the kiosks and their contents are expected to be removed and returned to the United States by the end of March.

Asked how many employees and contractors would be effected by the shutdown, Horak would say only “very few.”

Redbox owner Outerwall Inc., which specializes in automated retail products and services, recorded a $1.5 million charge on its fourth-quarter results as a result of the decision.
