If you've ever dreamed of spending the night at a Blockbuster store, now might just be your chance.
The video rental company is teaming up with Airbnb to rent out its last remaining store to small groups for an "end of summer sleepover." The store, located in Bend, Oregon, became the last Blockbuster standing in March 2019, following the closure of the company's Australia location.
For $4, "quarantine pods" of up to four people will be able to book a one-night Airbnb stay at the Bend Blockbuster over a period of three days starting on September 18. Though availability is extremely limited, booking will be open to the public beginning on August 17, according to the Airbnb listing.
Despite streaming services like Netflix and Hulu rendering Blockbuster obsolete, the Bend store has been able to survive thanks in part to a legion of loyal movie buffs and enthusiasts who continue to pay $30 for a monthly membership.
Still, the store has felt the sting of the pandemic, Sandi Harding, the Blockbuster location's manager, said. In the Airbnb listing, Harding wrote that opening up the store to Airbnb stays serves as an "ode to movie magic, simpler times, and the sense of community that could once be found in Blockbuster locations around the world."
"Over the past few months, we've been missing the regular visits from friends, neighbors and tourists from around the world," Harding wrote. "So, we're opening our store to three quarantine pods of Deschutes County guests for a socially-distanced movie night, just like those of decades past."
