Pop Mart, the entertainment brand from Asia with a growing loyal fan base, will host a grand opening at its first permanent location in the U.S. at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey this month. The opening follows the successful operation of more than 400 stores, 2000 robo stores, and a vast network of distributors across 84 countries and regions.
Known for designer toy characters such as Molly, Hirono, The Monsters, and Skullpanda, Pop Mart has gained a devoted following worldwide. With the opening of the New Jersey location, fans and collectors will now be able to access exclusive releases, limited editions, and unexpected collaborations.
The grand opening events will include a ribbon cutting ceremony by Larry Lu, the Head of Pop Mart North America, and feature a variety of exclusive offerings, including a restock of the Hirono Elephant in the Room figurine, available in a limited quantity of only 20 units. Fans will also have the chance to acquire the exclusive DIMOO Solitary Island figurine to add to their collections.
“We are thrilled to bring our unique retail experience to the American Dream Mall,” says Lu. “The opening of our first permanent store in the U.S. signifies an important milestone for our brand, and we are excited to share our passion for designer toys with our loyal fans and collectors in the United States.”
Perhaps the biggest highlight of the grand opening will be the debut of Pop Mart’s exclusive collab with the streetwear label CLOT. The Skullpanda x CLOT collection will showcase the fusion of art and design that both brands are known for.
Pop Mart will open its first permanent location in the U.S. on Sept. 15 at 2 p.m. ET.
