It is Scandinavia’s only distributor of Tintin merchandise.

Each of these stores has a distinct focus: one is dedicated to pop culture merchandise, another specializes in miniature figures like Warhammer, while a third serves as a hub for live role players, offering all the necessary equipment for the hobby. Additionally, there’s a Manga store, a shop for costumes that adapts its inventory according to upcoming holidays like Halloween and Christmas, and a comics store that also features a Harry Potter-themed basement. Why is it innovative? Multiple Co-Located Stores Organized by Customer Interest: Faraos Cigarer operates six stores within a few hundred meters of each other on the same street in Copenhagen.

What iconic stores from the 80’s and 90’s no longer exist!!! 🎶📼 Remember the joy of flipping through CDs at Tower Records? Or the smell of fresh popcorn as you rented a VHS at Blockbuster? 🎶📼 What iconic stores from the 80’s and 90’s no longer exist? These stores weren’t just places—they were experiences. KB Toys, RadioShack, The Limited, and Circuit City shaped our shopping culture. Sadly, they couldn’t keep up with the changing tides of e-commerce. 🚀 For many of us, these stores held memories of simpler times, where browsing was an adventure and shopping was social. What stores do you miss most from those days? Let’s take a nostalgic trip down memory lane! 🚪💭 Comment below and share your memories! 💬✨ #80snostalgia #90snostalgia #retailhistory #iconicstores #throwback #memorylane #retaillegacy #USAnostalgia #goodolddays #vanishedstores #nostalgia #community

This weeks win is Hexed showcasing in the 'Keep it Local Pop up Department store' that has opened its doors in The Potteries Centre , Hanley and is open until Christmas - check it out if you are local ( in the old Next retail unit) . What a wonderful concept of bringing together small creatives and independent brands in a fun and engaging environment, this is just what the high Street needs!. Not Mike Ashley buying up every brand and Department store offering the same old , same old and lining his ever big bulging pockets. If it's one thing you do this weekend pop into your local high Street and make a beeline for an independent shop . They need us , and we need them. ( Use them or Lose them as the saying goes). As e-commerce continues to rise, physical retail needs to evolve, not disappear. Successful stores are no longer just selling products -they're creating experiences, engaging in their customers and building communities. It's about meaningful interactions, not transactions Now more than ever we should champion small independent brands that bring uniqueness and personal touch to the table. These brands tell stories, innovate and connect with customers on a deeper level. It's up to us to us all to embrace a future where retail is about experience, authenticity and at the same time create a sustainable highstreet . #customerexperience #retailrevolution #supportsmallbrands #positiveretail

Thanks for an interesting discussion Konrad Olsson and highlighting the Pre-Loved concept. Let’s make shopping second hand easy and accessible. 🙌🏻 https://lnkd.in/dg65Tz7q #CBM Team #H&M #circularbusinessmodels

I love it when a retail store tries something new to attract more customers. For example, there's this new store in the same area where I live. They placed a cartoon character outside to catch the eye of people passing by on the main road. It's probably not very expensive, but hopefully it should bring in more traffic. How about your store? With so many stores around, what unique thing are you doing to get people talking about your store? #RetailMarketing
