POP MART, the popular brand from China’s toy trend, continues to expand. Already available in seven of The Entertainer’s stores nationwide, it will be introduced to locations in Brighton, Newcastle, and Glasgow starting in April 2026.

At each of the new locations, shoppers can discover an interactive vending machine style experience with the arrival of POP MART’s much-loved ‘Robo Shops’ that allow customers to browse and buy limited-edition collectibles from lines such as Molly, Hirono and SKULLPANDA.

Since its launch in 2010, POP MART has grown a global audience by merging art, fashion, and pop culture into collectable toys that appeal to fans of all ages. Sold in mystery-style blind boxes, each box contains a surprise figure that has added to the growing excitement and increased demand for the products, which have also seen popularity with celebrities, including Dua Lipa and Rihanna.

From April 2026, POP MART Robo Shops will be available at The Entertainer stores including:

1. Churchill Square Shopping Centre, Brighton – NEW
