Fanatics Collectibles to open first UK pop-up store
Fanatics Collectibles is to launch its first UK pop-up store at London’s Westfield White City shopping centre.
Due to launch on 2 December, the experiential space will aim to offer sports fans and collectors a one-of-a-kind shopping experience with 70 premium memorabilia pieces for sale, including signed shirts from Lionel Messi, Pele, Tom Brady, Erling Haaland, Steph Curry and more.
It will also offer a selection of high-end Topps hobby trading cards as well as some mass-market sets.
The store will feature a personalised photocard creation booth where visitors will be able to create their own Topps photocard to commemorate their visit. It will also host exclusive product launch events as well as meet-and-greet events where fans will be able to connect with creators from the Topps community.
To celebrate the grand opening, the first 100 customers through the doors will be treated to an exclusive goody bag.
Ian Foster, marketing and digital content director at Topps, said: “This shop offers a one-of-a-kind experience for fans to connect with Topps like never before.
“Whether it’s exclusive products, personalised keepsakes, or the chance to participate in interactive activities, the store is designed to engage collectors of all levels.
“From seasoned enthusiasts hunting for rare memorabilia to newcomers exploring the world of collectibles, there’s something here for everyone. It’s all about celebrating the joy of collecting and building unforgettable memories with fans.”
