Union Square is set for a high-profile newcomer as Nintendo plans to open its second official US store on May 15. At 331 Powell Street, Nintendo SAN FRANCISCO, as noted by Nintendo’s official announcement, will join the New York City location in offering a comprehensive experience of Nintendo’s expansive world. Guests can look forward to exclusive products, including game systems, games, and merchandise featuring Nintendo’s beloved characters.
Retail experts and city officials are optimistic about the new opening, seeing it as a boon for the area’s economy. “A Nintendo store at Union Square in San Francisco is fantastic. There has been a real trend of businesses opening in San Francisco,” Rodney Fong, President and CEO of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, said, per Hoodline. This development, alongside the notable expansion of Emporium San Francisco Centre, marks a turning point for a retail sector that has been on the ropes since the pandemic began.
Further emphasizing the city’s retail rebound, Kazuko Morgan, Executive Vice Chairman of Cushman & Wakefield, shared, as per Hoodline, “I think you should expect to see a lot more stores opening this year in particular.” The revitalization of San Francisco’s downtown area has been on the agenda for some time, as businesses and local government seek to create a safer and more welcoming atmosphere for shoppers and tourists alike.
Nintendo’s official Instagram page teased details on what patrons can expect during the grand opening and a preview of exclusive products. “Details on reservation requirements—and an early look at exclusive products—will be shared as we approach the grand opening,” Nintendo posted on Instagram.
