Blockbuster has one location still standing in Bend, Oregon!!
Store manager Sandi Harding has been running it since 2004, and for the first time in the store's history, it will be listed on Airbnb, giving lucky guests the chance to enjoy its video selection after hours. Harding, herself, will be the host for the evening. Shelves will be stocked with all the movies you could ever want to watch, and guests can get comfortable in a retro living room display. Residents of Deschutes County, where the store is located, will have 3 opportunities to sleep over in the store for one night.
Starting Aug. 17 at 1pm PST, bookings will be available for the nights of September 18, 19 and 20. Stays will cost $4, just a penny more than a Blockbuster rental would run you. Due to COVID restrictions, the sleepover is only available to residents of the county, and while 4 people can stay in the Blockbuster at one time, it's mandated that they all be from the same household. Masks and social distancing will be required and the store will be cleaned between guests.
