Toy retailer to open largest UK store at Liverpool ONE

International toy retailer POP MART is set to open its largest UK store to date at Liverpool ONE shopping centre.

Making its Liverpool debut, POP MART’s new store on Upper South John Street will span 6,200 sq ft and be situated close to KENJI and MINISO.

The store will stock the brand’s collectable variety of blind boxes, spanning a range of popular POP MART-only characters, as well as the highly popular ranges of The Monsters, more commonly known as ‘Labubus’.

Rob Deacon, director of asset management at Liverpool ONE, Landsec, said: “With regular sell-out product launches, POP MART has proven a viral sensation, and the store is set to appeal to a wide range of consumers across the North West. The brand launching its biggest UK store yet will provide yet another distinct point of difference to the destination, reinforcing Liverpool ONE’s position as a go-to location for globally renowned brands and one of the leading retail and entertainment destinations in the UK.”

This continues a run of signings and openings at Liverpool ONE, with the destination celebrating its busiest year for store launches since 2008.  Last month, MINISO made its Liverpool debut, following the arrivals of Sephora, TFG London, and Uniqlo. In total, Liverpool ONE is set to welcome over 25 brands in 2025, for a total area of more than 100,000 sq ft.

CBRE, Colliers, and Time Retail Partners acted for Liverpool ONE. Cushman & Wakefield represented POP MART.
