"Stranger Things" has been a phenomenon since it debuted on Netflix in 2016, and last year three pop-up stores - one in New York, one in Chicago, and one in Los Angeles - were launched to feed the fans' need for merchandise. This year, just as shoppers began thinking about gifts for the holidays, stores were opened for a limited time in Dallas, Miami, and Paris!
Now, through the end of the year, fans can visit the store to explore the arcade, visit the Byers' living room, and even have their photo taken with a Demogorgon! Of course, you can also start your holiday shopping and purchase merchandise from the show, as well as, throwback items from the 1980s, such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, watches, vintage candy, Rubik's cubes, and other toys.
This immersive, easter egg-filled, shopping experience would be a fun gift in and of itself, with exclusive photo ops in Joyce's house, Palace Arcade, and Starcourt Mall. You will even have a chance to hang out with some Scoops Ahoy employees and some Russian Guards.
Some exclusive merchandise includes General Mills Stranger Things cereal, packaged in original boxes from the 80's, a large selection of Bandai Stranger Things Hawkins Action Figures, shirts, cups, and books.
If you want to get something really special, how about an "Elegorgon" figure? This limited collectible was born from a collaboration between Netflix and iam8bit. And, for those "Stranger Things" fans who seem to have it all, you can head to the customizable apparel stations for something truly unique, making the holiday gift possibilities endless.
However, please don't wait to try this one-of-a-kind shopping experience because once the new year hits, these stores will pack up in preparation for their next stops, which could be almost anywhere around the world. So if you or someone you know is a fan of this series, this is a must-do. If you plan to visit, head over to https://strangerthings-store.com/ to make your free reservation today!
