An iconic and popular shop has made a bold return to the high street in the form of a pop-up. Blockbuster has made a return to London’s Soho – it will be there for only four days in April. The rental store that’s well remembered by many will be hosting a pop up in collaboration with KitKat.

If you’re a film lover, it’s worth visiting this nostalgic store to relive the past if you remember when Blockbuster was around on the high street. The American chain first came to the UK in 1989 and was at its peak by 2004, reports The Standard.

Unfortunately, after the rise of popular streaming services, the chain entered administration in 2013.

Blockbuster will be making a return from April 9 to April 12 to celebrate the launch of KitKat’s new sharing bars which come in three flavours: double chocolate, salted caramel and hazelnut.

At the exciting store, customers will be able to pick an empty VHS case and take it to a counter where they will be given a KitKat and a streaming code.

The only remaining and functional Blockbuster store is in Bend, Oregon, around 160 miles away from Portland.

Having been the last branch standing ever since the remaining stores in Alaska closed in 2018, and the final remaining branch in Australia closed in 2019.

The store has become something of a tourist attraction with people travelling from all over the US to visit the branch.

It was even the subject of a documentary film, The Last Blockbuster, which was released in 2020, reports The Metro.

But don’t worry if you can’t make it to the store in Oregon, instead you’ll have the option to visit the pop up in London.

Stephanie Scales, marketing manager for KitKat at Nestlé UK & Ireland, said: “It’s more important than ever to stay connected with others in today’s hectic world.

“Whether it’s with friends, family or loved ones, we want to take the nation back to when times were simpler and reclaim the joy of picking out a movie to watch together.”
