We're so excited to announce that we're opening our brand-new, 2,000 sq. ft. flagship store in New York City's Meatpacking District!
You might remember our limited time pop-up in partnership with Shopify in SoHo last year. The lines were crazy and we were blown away by the turnout. Over 4,000 of you showed up in just three days!
What started as a living-room side hustle at the end of 2023 has grown so much through incredible community support. So, after popular demand, we’ve upgraded our space and can't wait to welcome you to our new permanent home.
Our new store will still be in NYC's Meatpacking District near our old location (address will be announced closer to the Grand Opening). It's designed to be the ultimate haven for Pokemon card collectors and fans. Here’s some preview renders of the space, designed by the amazing GAMPworks. We’ll share full photos in the coming weeks as construction continues :)
Some highlights:
-
Pack Bar: The much awaited return of a fan favorite from the pop-up! Sidle up to the pack bar and get concierge experience from a “Packtender” where you can get help picking out and opening your card products.
-
Card Walls & Singles Binders: Tons of single cards and graded slabs, from that high-end chase card you've been dreaming of to more budget-friendly options.
-
New Poké Court Merch: Shop in style with new Poké Court totes, hats, and more.
-
Ripping Corner: A dedicated space to open your new packs, complete with penny sleeves to protect your pulls (yes, you’ll actually have some space to sit and open packs again! We’re sorry that it’s been so crowded lately.)
-
VIP Lounge: An exclusive spot for our high-end collectors, creators, and awesome community members. Look out for the option to host your own ripping parties and more soon!
-
Expanded Hours: We’ll be open earlier, later, and on weekends!
We’ll be having our grand opening from November 1st-2nd in collaboration with our platinum title sponsor, Collectr, and we're celebrating all weekend long. We’ll be packed with events and special guests! We'll have:
-
Vintage box breaks (including a Base Set box from 1999!) hosted in our store, and streamed on our Whatnot channel.
-
We’ll have at least one pack from every major English set of Pokémon cards dating back to the 90s for sale.
-
Unique Poké Court patches for the first visitors everyday (catch ‘em all while supplies last!)
-
Visits from special guests like Powdr, Alcremie Sundae, MeesterKeem, Scott's PC, Yunaverse, and more!
-
A limited space “Poké Court Palooza” on the evening of 11/1, with fun activities like a Pokémon Spelling Bee, Pikachu Hunt, special creator hosted activities, plus food and drinks. More details on signups to come.
