Netflix got us away from brick and mortar, and now it’s bringing us back
If you’ve ever wanted Netflix to be more of an interactive experience, the streamer has big plans that might be for you. After effectively driving brick-and-mortar movie rental stores out of business, Netflix is launching brick-and-mortar locations beginning in 2025, offering food, merchandise and experiences.

What are ‘Netflix Houses?’
Netflix’s physical locations will be called “Netflix Houses,” and they’ll offer merchandise, food and show-related activities where fans can shop, play and interact with their favorite Netflix shows.
Netflix has been testing this kind of concept for a while, Forbes reports. In June, the streamer tried out Netflix Bites, a temporary dining pop-up inspired by some of its food and culinary shows. In May, it hosted “Only on Netflix” in Japan, where settings from popular shows like “Stranger Things” and “Emily in Paris” were recreated for fans to explore. Last year, Netflix launched The Queen’s Ball: a Bridgerton Experience, a traveling event where fans could dress like regency characters and attend a Bridgerton-style ball.
Netflix plans to open its first two Netflix Houses in the U.S. in 2025. In addition to food and retail, it sounds like events like the pop-ups hosted in the past might become mainstays to draw more fans to visit.
