Following on from the success of the Bandai Namco Cross Store in London (Camden Market), as well as smaller stores across the UK, Bandai Namco Entertainment have recently announced that a second cross store will be opening in Birmingham later this year.
Located on Birmingham’s New Street this second cross store will allow customers to ‘see’, ‘touch’ and ‘experience’ characters, products, events from across Japanese gaming, manga and anime culture, and feel part of an experience where guests can smile whilst celebrating community and entertainment. This second cross store is expected to offer the same type of content as the cross store in Camden Market, which included Arcade, Gacha, Stationary and trading card games.

Here is what John McKenzie MD of Bandai Namco Amusement Europe, had to say about this exciting new announcement.
“Birmingham in the Midlands is a great central location to position our second Bandai Namco Cross Store. With the great success of Bandai Namco Cross Store Camden, London, we are excited to deliver a consistent experience further north in the country to reach the demand from a large and diverse customer base. Guests and fans will have another hub of entertainment to experience the much-loved Japanese IP and brands we offer.”
For fans of Anime, Manga, and Games then Bandai Namco Cross Store is definitely something worth checking out when it opens during Spring 2025. Further details, including its exact location, can be found on the official website, along with details about the other locations across the UK.,
