Pop Mart is a global toy and entertainment company known for its collectible designer toys and “blind box” figures.

The company started in China and has become extremely popular around the world, especially among young collectors and pop-culture fans. Pop Mart is famous for its original characters and toy series such as Labubu, Molly, SkullPanda and Hirono. Many of their products are sold in “mystery boxes,” meaning buyers don’t know exactly which figure they will get until they open the package.

This surprise element has helped create a collector community and viral popularity on social media.

Now, Pop Mart is bringing that experience to Arizona for the first time. The company announced it will open its first Arizona store in Tempe.

Here is everything to know about where and when Pop Mart is opening.

Is Arizona getting a Pop Mart store?

Yes, Arizona will be getting its first-ever Pop Mart located in Arizona Mills Mall. You can find it at 5000 S. Arizona Mills Circle, Suite 537, Tempe.

While an exact grand opening date has not been confirmed yet, the company says the store is “coming soon.”
