Getting everything right from the window sign to the couches that the characters would lounge on, Central Perk SG is a haven for [Friends fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rachel-greens-trifle-kits) looking to reminisce on some of the series' very best moments. In order to gain access to it however, they'll have to purchase a membership that runs for $720 USD. With it, they'll not only have access to Central Perk SG, but they'll be able to bring five of their friends to total the same size of the group that's depicted in the show and use it as an event space when needed. In addition to this, members will be offered personalized invitations to exclusive parties and tastings and will be able to book the iconic couch for their own use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Tv-themed Membership Cafes:** Opportunity to create themed membership cafes that cater to fans of popular TV shows, creating a unique and nostalgic experience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Hospitality industry can capitalize on the trend by partnering with popular TV shows and creating themed cafes for fans to gather and enjoy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Iconic Show Toronto Popups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-one-in-toronto.md) - [Sitcom-Style Fast Food Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friends-meal.md) - [Sitcom-Inspired Meal Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friends-box.md) - [Nostalgic Sitcom Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friends-donuts.md) - [Sitcom-Inspired Coffee Creamers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-delight-manhattan-hazelnut-mocha.md) - [Sitcom-Inspired Adorable Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-monica-day.md) - [Sitcom Smartphone Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friends-x-casetify-collection.md) - [Sitcom Tribute Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chilis-scranton-branch.md) - [Sitcom-Themed Room Stays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sex-and-the-city-airbnb.md)
