The Entertainer has unveiled a new retail activation in partnership with Netflix, with the ‘Kpop Demon Hunters shop-in-shop’ opening on 26 October at the retailer’s Bullring store in Birmingham.
Open for a minimum of six months, it features characters from the franchise and a interactive stage for fans to engage in photoshop opportunities.
Craig Inglis, group chief customer officer at The Entertainer, said: “This is a landmark partnership for The Entertainer and a hugely exciting step forward in how we’re thinking about the future of our stores.
“To be working with Netflix on a retail-first concept of this scale is a real milestone for the business and reflects our ambition to push the boundaries of what toy retail can look like.”
