St David’s Cardiff has announced that global sensation POP MART is on its way to the city shopping destination.
The global force in pop culture and entertainment, famed for its designer collectibles, has chosen St David’s as the location for its first-ever Welsh store.
Bringing its renowned immersive retail experience to fans and collectors, POP MART’s 2,529 sq ft store will offer guests the chance to explore its best-selling ranges including THE MONSTERS – with its cult-worthy Labubu dolls – as well as HIRONO, SKULLPANDA, and more.
With more than 500 physical stores across 30 countries worldwide, POP MART currently has 13 physical stores in the UK, with five of these in London. Prior to the brand’s expansion in Cardiff, Welsh shoppers would have had to travel as far as London, Birmingham, Manchester, or Cambridge to get an official POP MART experience.
Set to launch at St David’s Cardiff later this year, with an opening date to be announced soon, the new POP MART store will be located on the upper level of the Grand Arcade, close to River Island and Zara. It will also be a stone’s throw from the brand-new Sephora store, which opened at St David’s late last year.
Helen Morgan, Centre Director of St David’s Cardiff, commented:
“Following strong demand from our guests, we’re thrilled to be bringing POP MART to St David’s. With its loyal global following, POP MART’s arrival reflects our long-term commitment to bringing exciting, world-class brands to Wales. We know the brand will be hugely popular and that there will be a great deal of anticipation for its arrival.”
A POP MART UK representative commented: “We’re so excited to open our first store in Wales and bring the POP MART magic to Cardiff. We know this location has been long anticipated by our fans and we are thrilled to officially confirm the news. All updates will be revealed through our socials.”
