The Pokémon Centre, located in Jewel Changi Airport in Singapore, has decided to temporarily close its doors starting from April 1. This temporary closure is to allow for renovations aimed at introducing a completely localised store concept.
Ever since the center first opened in 2019, it has been a hub for a wide range of Pokémon-themed products. These products range from video games and trading cards to plush toys and bag charms.
Upon completion of the renovation, the revamped Pokémon Centre will feature several design elements and installations inspired by Singapore’s rich heritage and culture. Additionally, customers can look forward to an expanded merchandise selection and a host of immersive experiences.
During the three-month renovation period, Pokémon will set up temporary pop-up stores at Jewel Changi and Plaza Singapura. These stores will continue to cater to the needs of Pokémon fans, ensuring that they can still access their favorite merchandise during the renovation period.
Shunsuke Sasaki, the Managing Director of Pokémon Singapore, reflected on the brand’s journey. “Over the past seven years, Pokémon has become an increasingly meaningful part of everyday life, and we are proud to have been part of that journey,” he said.
He also shared a glimpse of what the refreshed store will offer: “The refreshed store will feature curated products, including some limited edition merchandise, and an enhanced interior design concept. We look forward to welcoming everyone soon.”
The Pokémon Centre at Jewel Changi Airport is set to reopen its doors in the third quarter of the year.
