Pop Mart plans Tysons Corner Center store for Labubu collectors

Pop Mart is already giving Tysons Corner Center collectors something to work with before the full store opens: two vending kiosks are operating now, and the permanent shop is targeted for Q4 2026 on Level 1, next to GameStop. For Labubu fans in Northern Virginia, that turns Tysons into more than a future promise. It is already a place to check for quick blind-box buys and a likely first stop when new drops hit the mall.

The setup matters because it gives DMV collectors two different ways to shop the brand in one location. The kiosks are the fast lane, built for impulse buys and high-turnover inventory. The store, once it opens, should offer the broader assortment collectors usually want for a real hunt: more shelf space, easier browsing, and a better shot at catching sought-after Labubu releases, accessories, and related character lines without refreshing resale apps or chasing online drops.

That layered approach also says something about how Pop Mart is landing in the Washington metro area. Tysons Corner Center is treating the brand as a destination, not a novelty, and the Labubu collector community is a big part of why. In practice, that means local shoppers will not have to plan trips around other malls as often, and the casual after-work or weekend browse becomes more realistic when the product is already on the floor, or in this case, already behind glass in vending form.

For collectors, convenience changes buying behavior fast. When a brand has a mall-level footprint, people check stock more often, make more frequent visits, and buy more on the spot instead of waiting for the perfect online release window. At Tysons, that shift has already started with the kiosks, and the Q4 2026 store target adds the kind of fixed location that can keep demand local instead of pushing it outward to resale markets and long drives.

By the time the Level 1 shop opens next to GameStop, Tysons Corner Center should already feel familiar to Labubu hunters. The kiosks have put Pop Mart on the map there first, and the store is set to make that presence stick.
