Chinese toy collectibles chain Pop Mart is opening a new º£½ÇÊÓƵ store in Bristol, it has announced.
The Beijing-headquartered retailer said the outlet would celebrate the city's "world-renowned creativity and urban art heritage".
The 248 sq m store will be based at 12 Broadmead, in the city centre, and will sell a range of Pop Mart products. At the heart of the shop will be Dimoo, the brand's "shy, dream-chasing character", but it will also sell Molly, Skullpanda, the Monsters (Labubu) and Hirono.
A spokesperson for the chain said Pop Mart Bristol would offer "an immersive retail experience", blending international pop culture with the city’s "vibrant local artistic energy".
"Bristol is one of the º£½ÇÊÓƵ’s most influential creative cities, home to globally recognized movements in urban art, music, and film," a spokesperson said in a statement.
"From the intrigue of Banksy’s early works to its dynamic independent art scene, the city’s energy mirrors Pop Mart’s values in transforming everyday creativity into accessible, high-quality collectible art.
"Pop mart believes Bristol embodies the spirit of artistic discovery and playfulness, which is exactly the energy channelled into its collectibles."
Pop Mart was founded in 2010 by entrepreneur Wang Ning, who is the company's chair and chief executive.
The Hong Kong-listed business has achieved astounding success selling small figurines and plush toys in so-called 'blind boxes' which means the buyer can't see what they are purchasing.
The brand's Labubu dolls, in particular, have sparked a global obsession including among major celebrities such as Dua Lipa, Rhianna and David Beckham.
The chain now has more than 570 stores and 2,500 ROBOSHOPs across 30 countries, and is fast expanding in Europe and the USA. Pop Mart reported a 204% year-on-year revenue growth in the first half of 2025, with revenue reaching approximately £1.6bn.
The Bristol store will officially open its doors on Saturday, December 6, at 9am.
