In the 90s Blockbuster video stores were everywhere, but now there’s only one left in the United States, and now that store is available for sleepovers on Airbnb.
The last remaining Blockbuster in Bend, Oregon will soon be taking reservations for movie marathon sleepovers. The store has converted an area into a spacious “living room,” with a pull out bed, armchairs, a coffee table and a large TV screen to watch whatever movie you may choose from their selection.
And it doesn’t even cost all that much to stay there. The overnight stays begin in September, with the experience costing just $4. But don’t start booking your air travel to Bend. Store owner Sandi Harding is only making the movie experience available to residents of Oregon’s Deschutes County, as a way of thanking them for their support of the store during the coronavirus lockdown, with many ordering films and having them delivered to their homes.
Because coronavirus restrictions are still in place, those booking the Blockbuster will still have to adhere to guidelines, including wearing a mask and social distancing, plus those who book the store for the movie marathon will have to be from the same family.
