New Universal Studios Store (2021)

This reminds me of their "epic" collection a few years back. Not really a fan of these mash-up type collections, but I know they sell

Speaking of merchandise, as I've said before, SLOP merch stuff just never caught on, and might be the reason they never built it here. Every time I visit, the SLOP merch area shrinks more. On this last visit it only had two very short shelves on a side wall. .....A very nice ride, but poor sales potential, for some reason or other.

Super happy to see this confirmed. Now that they will be selling merch from the preview center + more I wonder how soon that closes. I'd think this opens right as the PC closes right?

I don't necessarily think there would be a correlation between the two, since they can easily sell Nintendo merch in two different stores. I'm guessing that the preview center will stay open until a few months after Epic has had its grand opening.

I think the store is just an extended way to sell more merch and not necessarily a way to take out the PC.

Besides, they will want to keep that up for a bit. I wonder if they will use it eventually to sell tickets and vacation packages when we get to about that time…

So I wonder what this means for the existing Potter section in the store?

Was there this weekend and I'm going to guess it'll house the merch located near the cash registers and they then expand that queue to fit more people. Just a guess.

The shortcut is coming back!

Hoping they can add some additional square footage for non-Potter/SNW merch. The store is very crowded at the moment, so any bit of additional space can work.

Also, any word on new Cinnabon location? I thought it was planned to move into an existing kiosk space, but so far nothing yet outside the cart at the theater and the hub.
