Sportswear giant Fanatics is set to open its first-ever global flagship store for its Collectibles brand on London’s iconic Regent Street later in the year.
The new Collectibles store is set to open in the spring, and will focus on “sports and entertainment trading cards and trading-card games, featuring Fanatics Collectibles’ brands, including Topps, Merlin, Match Attax and Bowman”.
The 8,647 sq ft store will offer “exclusive product and have thousands of unique items” and will also act as a community hub for “monthly trade nights, kids rip events, athlete signings and appearances, partner activations and grading drop-off”.
While the store will focus primarily on trading cards, Fanatics said other products including apparel will also be stocked and sold.
“We are 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.”
