Nintendo has announced plans to open a second official store in the US.
The company will open a physical store in San Francisco, specifically in the iconic Union Square, which is considered “the city’s bustling shopping center.” The store is currently slated to open in 2025, with more details to be revealed in the future.
Here’s Nintendo’s full official statement:
“Nintendo of America today announced plans to open an official store in San Francisco’s iconic Union Square, providing a way for a wide range of visitors from near and far to experience the world of Nintendo, its products and characters.
The Nintendo SAN FRANCISCO store will open in 2025 as the second official location in the US, joining the store in New York.
Stay tuned for more information as the opening of the new store approaches.”
It’s amazing to think that this is only the second store the company has opened in America. The first is known for New York and regularly holds events on the day of the presentation of major Nintendo releases. The San Francisco store gives those on the West Coast a chance to check out Nintendo stuff without making the trip to the East Coast.
2025 looks like a big year for Nintendo, and not just in the video game space. While the Switch 2 will at least be revealed “within this fiscal year,” Universal Orlando will also be getting its own Super Nintendo World next year. Then it seems like the right time to open a new store.
