POP MART Opens 2024 with Two New Stores in Los Angeles, Grand Opening Event at Century City

Los Angeles, California (February 2, 2024) - POP MART is thrilled to announce the openings of two new permanent stores in Los Angeles county. The new stores are located in two of LA’s largest and most esteemed shopping centers, including the largest flagship to date in Westfield Century City and Glendale Galleria.

The Westfield Century City grand opening event on February 10 will be attended by LA-native Libby Frame, designer of POP MART’s recent hit series Peach Riot that has taken TikTok by storm. Peach Riot is an edgy all-girl punk band known for their fresh style, passionate delivery, and fierce girl-power.

The grand opening, which starts at 10am PT, will kick off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Executive Vice President of Real Estate Luis Barrientos, followed by a meet-and-greet with Libby Frame with a designated autograph signing, round-table discussion, and audience Q&A. The festivities will also include music, refreshments, and gifts. Exclusive pieces on display include the DIMOO Rejuvenating Version figure, one of the latest creations by POP MART artist Ayan.

Luis Barrientos shares: “As a California native, I am thrilled about the new POP MART store openings, and the opportunity to connect with our fans at the Century City grand opening.”

POP MART now stands at 7 stores across both coasts, having received overwhelmingly positive feedback from fans and growing immensely popular with the Gen Z community. The brand also had a strong presence at key cultural conventions in the US in 2023, such as DesignerCon, ComplexCon, San Diego Comic Con, and AnimeExpo.

Known for their iconic designer toy characters like MOLLY, Hirono, The Monsters, SKULLPANDA and many others, POP MART has gained a devoted following worldwide. The brand currently operates more than 450 stores in over 30 countries, with 2,300 Robo Shops (blind box vending machines) and constant new collaborations with brands such as Uniqlo, Crocs, and more. With the opening of these new permanent stores in Los Angeles, even more fans and collectors on the west coast will now have the opportunity to immerse themselves in an unparalleled retail experience, featuring an extensive range of exclusive releases, limited editions, and unexpected collaborations.
