Pop Mart is continuing to expand. According to a recent Instagram Post, the global pop-culture and designer toy company is slated to open a few new locations throughout the country, including on the iconic Las Vegas Strip.
According to the Pop Mart Instagram Page, the new Pop Mart, set to open on the Las Vegas Strip soon, is slated to open at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. The Forum Shops already has the new Pop Mart listed on its website as “coming soon.” No word just yet on how soon. But we suspect the opening will happen this summer.
What Now Las Vegas reached out to Pop Mart’s Executive Vice President of Business Development – The Americas, Luis Barrientos, to learn more about the upcoming Las Vegas opening and further expansion plans, but did not hear back by the time of this publication.
“POP MART is a rising global force in pop culture and entertainment,” the Pop Mart website reads.
“Our purpose it to celebrate daily moments and inspire through designer toys and fun experiences. Our focus is IP incubation & operations, designer toys & retail, theme parks & experiences, also digital entertainment.”
Pop Mart was founded in 2010 by Wang Ning in Beijing, China. Starting as a lifestyle boutique, it pivoted to designer toys and popularized the “blind box” collecting craze. Today, it is a global entertainment empire featuring viral intellectual properties such as Labubu and Molly, and it operates hundreds of stores worldwide.
There are now more than 570 Pop Mart brick-and-mortar stores worldwide across more than 30 countries and regions. Pop Mart operates more than 60 permanent stores across the US and is rapidly expanding through major shopping centers. There are only three locations in the state of Nevada, all in the Las Vegas Valley, including at the Fashion Show Mall. The third strip location set to open this year will be a welcome addition to Las Vegas’ retail offerings and for the brand.
Pop Mart also has an expansive network of more than 2,500 “Robo Shops” (automated blind-box vending machines).
“Our mission is to light up passion & bring joy around the world. POP MART is not just a brand, it’s a galaxy of creative possibilities.”
Pop Mart is anticipated to open inside The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace at 3500 Las Vegas Blvd S, sometime this summer.
