Highlights:

According to a Bloomberg report quoting Josh Simon, the company's vice president of consumer products, Netflix aims to open a network of stores offering retail, dining and live entertainment that leverage its TV shows and movies.

Netflix has not announced what it will be selling at the locations; it's unclear if DVDs or any type of physical media will be part of the inventory.

Earlier this year, the streamer opened a pop-up restaurant in Los Angeles featuring menu items created by chefs associated with Netflix cooking shows. The company has also launched pop-up stores offering merchandise from its hit show Stranger Things in cities such as Paris, Las Vegas and Chicago.

You can only sit with people in your household. The others will need their own table

So they've lost so much confidence in their ability to grow their streaming service that they've decided to pivot to the highly reliable... restaurant industry?

Infinite growth leads to imminent collapse.

If they really want to piss on Blockbuster's grave, they should open up DVD rental stores. Would be hilariously ironic.

If they open a restaurant I don't think I'll ever eat there. I hate going to a restaurant and spending 2 hours scrolling through the menu trying to figure out what I want to eat

New brand maybe? How about Netbuster?

Most stores today would be built with steel and aluminium with composite walls. Not sure why they’re going for brick. It’s much more expensive. Even wood framed would be a better option.

Give you an a for effort on that joke

I’ll consider going to one if they have Disenchantment animatronics
