Since the first episode aired on Netflix in 2016, Stranger Things has become a global phenomenon, and, to appease fans during the long wait between seasons, Netflix has created a Stranger Things pop-up store. Having previously appeared in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, etc. the latest round of locations opened, including Aventura Mall in Miami, FL. Now through the holidays, fans can explore the arcade, sit in the Byer's living room and even have their photo taken with a Demogorgon.
Besides the photo opportunities and enjoying some great music from the 1980s, guests can purchase merchandise, not only from the show but from the ‘80s era. From T-shirts, sweatshirts, and watches, to vintage candy, Rubik's cubes, and Lite-Brite toys, consumers can indulge in all things Stranger Things while either reliving their younger days or just enjoying the surroundings while deciding what to buy.
Since the Miami store opened right before Halloween, there is also themed merchandise, especially if you plan to dress up like Eleven or walk around in a Surfer Boy Pizza t-shirt and visor. Luckily, the whole family can also get in on the act because there is even a Scoops Ahoy onsite that is as adorable as it sounds.
I think anyone visiting the story will get a kick out of all the fun stuff to see, grab some photos, and buy some quality products. Personally, I think my favorite item is the book discussing the actors, characters, and behind-the-scenes stories and photos.
In order to reserve a free spot to visit the store, fans go to https://strangerthings-store.com/ choose a date and time and sign up. Hurry up though, these tickets are going fast and the store is only around for a limited time before they close up shop and head to the next destination.
