The Entertainer announces major roll-out of POP MART ROBO SHOPS across its stores

Britain’s toy shop, The Entertainer, has announced the imminent arrival of POP MART ROBO SHOPS in 12 more stores across the UK.

As the collectible toy trend continues to grow, the arrival of the 12 new ROBO SHOPS follows the launch of The Entertainer’s first ROBO SHOP at its flagship store at Bluewater last year, making the Amersham based toy retailer the UK’s largest partner and retailer of the much-loved brand.

The interactive vending machine experience allows shoppers to browse and buy limited-edition collectibles from POP MART, including the best-selling Labubu, Molly, Hirono and SKULLPANDA characters, among many others.

Since its launch in 2010, POP MART has grown a global audience by merging art, fashion, and pop culture into collectible toys that appeal to fans of all ages. Sold in mystery-style blind boxes, each box contains a surprise figure that has added to the growing excitement and increased demand for the products, which have also seen popularity with celebrities, including Dua Lipa and Rihanna.

Andrew Murphy OBE, group chief executive officer of The Entertainer Group, said: “As the global POP MART phenomenon and collectible toy trend continues to flourish, we’re excited to announce that twelve more of our stores will be home to ROBO SHOPS.

“The Entertainer takes its role as Britain’s toy shop seriously – which means breaking new ground to bring our customers all the latest toy trends, the world’s best-loved brands and compelling shopping experiences for customers, whatever their age.”

As part of the major partnership, POP MART ROBO SHOPS will roll-out to The Entertainer stores across the UK across the next six weeks:

  • Lakeside – NEW
  • Brighton – NEW
  • Newcastle Metro – NEW
  • Glasgow St Enoch – NEW
  • Sheffield Meadowhall – NEW
  • Bristol Cribbs – NEW
  • Manchester Arndale – NEW
  • Belfast – NEW
  • Cambridge – NEW
  • Leeds – NEW
  • Merry Hill – NEW
  • Cardiff – NEW
  • Bluewater – Existing
