syy89 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Aside from the flagship store set to open in Bourdeaux, France in 2015, maybe it's not too early now to speculate on where other new stores may open then? Also, is there any chance of new stores opening later or towards the end of this year which haven't been announced yet? I'm particularly interested because I hope one opens in Ottawa, Canada (my area) in the very near future. With two new stores having opened in the Montreal area earlier this year (Carrefour Laval & Fairview Pointe-Claire), we are now the largest metro area in the country that still doesn't have one. :-\ Also, by looking through the US, there are definitely still some major metro areas there that could use a store (Pittsburgh, Tampa, New Orleans, Jacksonville just to name a few), I'm sure there are big Lego fans there like me hoping their area gets one too. :) Any other places?

Super Goblin Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 It seems really hard to find info on this. Lego recently started charging tax for Kentucky on shop @ home so hopefully that means there is a Lego store planned for here. Quote
Ridge Montante Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 I'd love a store here in Buffalo, NY. The Galleria mall would be a perfect place for one. Quote
escortmad79 Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 If anyone from TLG is reading, Edinburgh needs one Quote
ShaydDeGrai Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 If anyone from TLG is reading, Edinburgh needs one I just had a odd vision of a hundred performance artists taking over a Lego Store during the Edinburgh Arts Festival - I hate to imagine that they'd do with a PaB wall... Thanks for that. Quote
Phrea Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 The Netherlands could use a couple too, we have none ! Quote
Artifex Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 I'd love to have at least one Lego Store in Brazil, but due to all taxes down here I know that's nearly impossible. Every set costs about three times as much! Yesterday I was checking this toy store and they had the Pet Shop going for BRL 900.00+, which is about USD 400.00+ or GBP 240.00+ Quote
andyscouse Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 The one in Danbury CT opened in April 2014, and the one in West Hartford is slated for this year too; however, it says "Coming Soon" and "May 2014" -- but I have yet to hear an exact date! I have the Grand Opening set from the Danbury one, and will gather the West Hartford one too ... once I know the date. Quote
Wodanis Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Canada has too few stores. Three in Toronto and none elsewhere in Southwestern Ontario. TLG would make a lot of money just setting up a store here in London, Ontario. Quote
Gooker1 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 Is it greedy if I'd love a store in Santa Monica, CA? :) Quote
JGW3000 Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 West Hartford is open, hit the pick a brick wall there last weekend. The grand opening is in June Quote
Technix Posted May 15, 2014 Posted May 15, 2014 it's kinda wishful thinking, but i hope TLG shows us some love too here in the Philippines :( Quote
Duq Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 I'd love one in Dublin but I know why that's unlikely in the near future. I'd settle for a store in Newry or Belfast for now. A two hour drive is do-able for a visit. A two hour drive plus a four hour ferry is not... Quote
Legogal Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Duq, Northern Ireland does make a lot of sense for a store being part of the UK, which is a surprise to most Americans. As you have mentioned, it takes enormous time and investment to open a new country for just a store or two. We lucked out in Raleigh because we are on the East Coast and can be supplied from CT and East Coast warehouses. Our LEGO store does well in an area with around a million in pop. Charlotte (2.5 hrs by road from us) also has a store. NC has over 10 million people, so it can support two stores. I admit that is is nice to be able to pop into the store and look around although I often buy nothing because what I want is already in my LEGO room. Quote
syy89 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Posted September 27, 2014 Looks like the flagship store at Flatiron District in NY has opened. Quote
62Bricks Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 I'm in the American Midwest and the closest store to me is in Kansas City. I'd like to see one in Omaha, Nebraska or Des Moines, Iowa. The next closest is in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Chicago. Quote
sithewok Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 I know it will never happen, but I'd love to see one in Wyoming. Quote
rollermonkey Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 A couple. Does Denver have one? Quote
Darth Punk Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 People live in Wyoming?!? Yes but they are out numbered by the deer and antelope who play. Quote
Phoxtane Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Does Denver have one? Speaking as a Wyomingite, I can safely say that there's more than a couple... Yes, there's at least one official and one un-official store in Denver. The official store is in the Park Meadows Mall. Quote
Super Goblin Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Does anyone have any news on stores opening in 2015? Quote
ResIpsaLoquitur Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Philadelphia could use another store, as they only have one in a part of town I seldom go to. I live in MD right now and have FIVE stores within a 90 minute drive--hard to believe Philly only has one. (Though there's probably some across the river in Jersey.) Quote
Nacho Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I guess I didn't realise how lucky I am to have one only 40 Mins away (Metro Centre, UK) Quote
