The Pokemon Company has announced they are opening a new permanent Pokemon retail store in London.

The store is described specifically as a “permanent, physical Pokemon store” that will carry “exclusive merchandise and one-of-a-kind experiences”. It is planned to open by 2029, and will be among several permanent Pokemon stores opening outside of Asia. Interestingly, the press release avoids calling it a “Pokemon Center”, possibly hinting that it might be a different concept store.

A permanent, physical Pokémon store is on its way to London, United Kingdom. This new store will be the ultimate destination for Pokémon fans and include a variety of exclusive merchandise and one-of-a-kind experiences for Trainers of all ages.

Chief Product and Experience Officer at The Pokémon Company International, Gaku Susai commented “We are always exploring new opportunities that help us create unique and memorable experiences for our fans. This new London store will give visitors the chance to step into the world of Pokémon, whether they’re discovering the brand for the first time or have been Trainers for years. We hope it becomes a place where everyone can come together, feel like part of a community and enjoy the magic of Pokémon in a whole new way.”

The London store is currently scheduled to open by 2029. The London store will also be the first of several permanent Pokémon stores that are planned to launch outside of Asia. Stay tuned for more information in the future.
