Season four of “Stranger Things” doesn’t arrive on Netflix until next week, but fans can get in on all the hype starting Friday at a pop-up store at Oakbrook Center. NBC 5’s Sandra Torres reports.
A storefront in suburban Chicago mall will transport fans to Hawkins, Indiana this weekend, in the form of a Stranger Things pop-up shop.
Netflix on Friday will open an immersive Stranger Things pop-up store at Oakbrook Center Mall where guests can take photos inside Joyce's House, shop at the Starcourt Mall, play games at the Palace Arcade and more, a press release says.
