Workout Studio to Fill Final Vacant Space at Former Woodbury Blockbuster

Kosama plans to open in late November or early December.

A new workout studio is coming to Woodbury. Kosama is set to open in late November or early December in the former Blockbuster space at 1960 Donegal Drive (off Valley Creek Road).

DVDs are currently being sold for $9.99, games and new retail items are 10 percent off and Blu-ray discs are 15 percent off. “The store did good, but the rent was just too high,” said an employee who wished to remain anonymous to protect their job through March.
