Fanatics to Open First Global Flagship
Collectibles store will feature overhead circular card display
Fanatics Collectibles (Jacksonville, Fla.) has unveiled plans for its first-ever flagship store, set to open this spring on London’s famed Regent Street. The focus of the 8700-square-foot space will be sports and entertainment trading cards and trading card games, featuring Fanatics Collectibles’ brands, including Topps, Merlin, Match Attax and Bowman.
Serving as the store’s visual centerpiece will be a display of the rarest and most-desirable cards on a giant suspended circular screen. The flagship will also offer exclusive product and have thousands of unique items, including single cards, retail boxes and high-end hobby releases. It will also host community-building events, including trade nights, kids rip events, athlete signings and appearances, partner activations and grading drop-offs.
Along with retail space, the store will feature a state-of-the-art breaking studio (live and taped opening of card packs), interactive customer education touchpoints and a personal card creation suite.
“We will be incredibly excited to cut the ribbon on this amazing community-building retail space, one that we hope will delight collectors and be a true home for the hobby in Europe,” said Topps President of Trading Cards, David Leiner. “It’ll be a destination for millions of fans as well as our own internal partners – and team and club partners, the latter using our dedicated space to launch and showcase new products in a way that has never been done before.”
