South Florida Labubu collectors finally have a place to walk in, browse blind boxes and buy on the spot. Pop Mart is now listed as an active tenant at Pembroke Lakes Mall in Pembroke Pines, with mall hours shown at 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., which changes the hunt in a very practical way: fewer blind online refreshes, less dependence on resale, and a real chance to catch a restock in person.

The Broward shopping center announced the opening in a June 17 Instagram post, and reporting carried through NewsBreak said the store was up and running after months of anticipation. A TikTok visit to the mall suggested the grand opening had reportedly happened the day before, on June 16, with little public noise around it. That same visit described a store that was fully stocked with blind boxes, including Labubu the Monsters, the kind of sight that immediately matters in a community used to chasing drops before they disappear.

That stocked-shelf detail is the real story here. For local collectors, a mall shop means you can compare series, check variants, and make repeat visits instead of treating every release like a one-shot online lottery. It also gives casual shoppers a lower-stakes way into the character, which matters for a line that thrives on surprise and scarcity. The TikTok post also pointed to freebies tied to purchases over a certain threshold, while suggesting the official launch was still set for the following week, a sign Pop Mart may be using a staged rollout to keep traffic coming back.

The Pembroke Lakes location also fits into a bigger Pop Mart push across the U.S. and beyond. Pop Mart says LABUBU is part of THE MONSTERS line created by artist Kasing Lung in 2015, with the character world rooted in picture books inspired by Nordic mythology. The company says it now operates in more than 23 countries and regions through 350-plus offline stores and 2,000-plus Roboshops, and its U.S. site continues to feature THE MONSTERS and other Labubu-related items in collections and new-arrivals pages.

Pembroke Lakes Mall follows Pop Mart’s first Miami-area location at Dolphin Mall, which already raised the character’s profile in South Florida. Now Pembroke Pines has its own shop, and for local collectors that means the Labubu chase is no longer just a resale grind or an online refresh ritual. It is a mall stop with shelves that can actually be walked up to.
