Beautiful Modern Store With Custom Millwork And Bar Area

This is first brick-and-mortar store, located in a landmarked Meatpacking District building, draws on the neighborhood’s industrial heritage and Pokémon’s global origins to create a playful yet functional retail experience. Within its narrow, deep footprint, the interior design accommodates multiple programs—retail sales of Pokémon and branded merchandise, a trade-in counter, back-of-house inventory and online fulfillment, and a lounge serving as both a staff retreat and VIP space—while making the most of every inch for display and circulation. The retail zone interprets the “court” concept while paying homage to NYC through wood-look flooring, vintage-inspired details, and custom mosaic and subway tile. Custom millwork threads throughout the space, while the lounge adopts a darker palette with subtle Asian design influences, offering a quiet counterpoint to the energetic retail area. Together, these atmospheres celebrate nostalgia, craftsmanship, and community through a distinctly New York City lens. ● Feature wall with hand-painted mural at entry ● Illuminated blade signs and integrated millwork signage ● Peg wall for merchandise display doubling as electrical closet doors ● 1,500 handmade 1” x 1” mosaic tiles at retail columns featuring 8 mosaic Pokéballs ● Maple wood retail shelving and cabinetry with integrated LED lighting ● 24 maple wood Pack Bar drawers with capacity for displaying 216 packs and storing ~11,000 packs ● Maple wood checkout and reading tables with storage ● Maple wood checkout window wall with double swing doors and flip counters for BOH needs and integrated peg wall for merchandise display ● Lounge walnut shelving, cabinetry, wall paneling and trim, and banquette seating ● Walnut pantry shelving and cabinetry ● Bathroom mirror, walnut trim, and storage cabinetry
