STAY AT THE WORLD’S LAST BLOCKBUSTER ON AIRBNB

Remember when we used to spend Friday pre-evenings finding films for the weekend? Now the world’s last Blockbuster is set to offer one-of-a-kind sleepovers.

Sandi Harding, the Store Manager, listed the iconic venue on Airbnb for movie-marathon-fueled- experiences. The listing is dedicated as a token of appreciation for the local community of Deschutes County for Oregon residents which has shown support during this unprecedented time. Airbnb will be making a donation to the Humane Society of Central Oregon, a longtime partner of the store.

The letting is available from August 17, the three one-night stays will give guests a throwback 90’s themed sleepover for $4 (USD) a night. Airbnb host Sandi will be preparing the shelves and ensuring the store has been cleaned in accordance with CDC guidelines and consistent with the Airbnb enhanced cleaning protocol for the September 18, 19 and 20 bookings.

Following final guests check out, customers will be invited to check out the living room space set up while adhering to COVID-19 safety guidelines regarding social distancing.

For those that aren’t lucky enough to land a booking, Sandi notes that you can call the store’s number at +1 (541) 385-9111 to receive tailored movie recommendations. Staff will listen to what you like and don’t like to put together a custom list of movies to watch. Alternatively, the last remaining Blockbuster has a website with a range of merch that celebrates the rare video rental chain.

Head over to Airbnb to check out the listing and request to book one of the three sleepovers August 17, 1 p.m. PST.
