Fanatics Collectibles‘ first-ever permanent global flagship store will officially open at 1pm on 25th April on the iconic Regent Street in London. Sports fans and collectors will be treated to a range of exciting soon-to-be-announced activities and celebrations to mark the official opening of the store.
The focus of the much-hyped store will be sports and entertainment trading cards and trading-card games, featuring Fanatics Collectibles’ brands. Last year Fanatics Collectibles also secured the exclusive trading-card rights to the Premier League, with product launching in time for the 2025/2026 season.
David Leiner, President of Trading Cards at Fanatics Collectibles, said: “The countdown is on, 25th April marks the opening of our incredible new space on Regent Street. This will be more than a store, it will be the home of the hobby, a hub for collectors and fans to unite, share, and experience collecting in new and exciting ways.”
The much-anticipated store will span 803 sqm (8,647 sq ft) and gives collectors a one-of-a-kind experience seven days a week. The stunning visual centerpiece: a central display of the rarest and most desirable cards, all with a giant suspended circular screen above. The flagship will offer exclusive products and have thousands of unique items, inclusive of single cards, retail boxes and high-end hobby releases.
It will also see community-building events from monthly trade nights, kids rip events, athlete signings and appearances, partner activations and grading drop-off. Along with retail space, the store will feature a state-of-the-art breaking studio (live and taped opening of card packs), interactive customer education touchpoints – and a personal card creation suite.
While the store will focus primarily on trading cards, other items will be sold, including apparel, memorabilia (signed kits, jerseys, balls and other equipment) and trading-card supplies.
Celebratory events and activities will take place across the store’s opening week, with high-profile personnel from the worlds of sport and entertainment set to join the action
