The LEGO Group announced today that a new LEGO flagship store will be opened in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province in the second half of this year as it continues to expand its retail footprint to bring creative play and immersive shopping experiences to more Chinese children, parents and fans.

Located at COCO Park shopping center in Futian District of Shenzhen, it will be the fifth flagship store that the LEGO Group opened in China. Store construction and recruitment will start soon. More information about the store will be shared during its grand opening.
