    The entire chain of Disney stores in the UK closed years ago. A bunch of other narrowly branded shops have gone too.

    If the likes of Disney didn’t think stores were worth it, I’m not sure how Netflix thinks it could work. There’s can be decent margin on merchandise, but also a lot of cost in running physical retail.
