New Universal Studios Store (2021)

So uh, the Store is open. (Major credit for OI for being there on April Fools Day.)

Edit: From Attractions, the coolest of details:

Can't stop won't stop.

So much more spaced out, this seems nice! I’m sure the upstairs portion will be heavily Nintendo and EU based merchandise.

Upstairs?

When you accidentally make an April Fools Day joke.

I don't think I really realized how massive the store space actually is.

Yeeeaaaahhhhhhh

 

[RevFreako]

Any new merch worth looking at?

Ok but the real question is how effective of a short cut is it

 

[belloq87]

It looks nice, if perhaps a little sterile.

Good to see a bit of new (possibly exclusive-to-store?) merchandise.

But I'll probably not spend much time (or money) in there if the Legacy Store exists (alongside the major front-of-park stores in each park).

In other news, thank God they opened this when they did. The Legacy Store was insanely cramped yesterday, between all the new props and displays AND SPRING BREAK CROWDS. They needed this new store right now.

 

[BBPH]

I appreciate it's probably very different in person but I'm finding it hard to say that I really like it.

I'm expecting over time, the Legacy store will move to a spot within the new store. The Legacy store is taking up some valuable space so that's gotta only be a temporary thing.

The Legacy signage looks pretty permanent (or as permanent as anything on Citywalk can be), but the Beer Garden concept is supposedly still "on tap"

I saw the store yeterday and first of all, I forgot how damn small that store is, but second, I don't think that signage being there really means much other than that it may be around for a year or two. My point is that, unless the Legacy store is doing as good of number or better than the old store, I see them moving the Legacy concept over for something new in there eventually.

Yea, a year or two was my guess.

I feel awful saying it, but I get some "Aventura" vibes from this new store. It's definitely nice, but I was expecting.. I don't know.. more theming?

It's the popular choice these days at a store like this - open concept, bright colors, cool atmosphere, light theming. This store reminds me of Uniqlo at Disney Springs a bit and partially like the new World of Disney.
