HONG KONG, Sept 15, 2017 - (ACN Newswire) - The second Hamleys store in China embraces its grand opening in Xuzhou Sanpower International Plaza. The three-tier toy store contains more than 1,000 SKU, 80 types of toys from over 50 brand suppliers, and several children play zones. The new Xuzhou Hamleys can cater more than 50,000 customers every day. With a store area of 10,000 square meters, it has surpassed the previous record-keeper, the Lubyanka Store in Moscow, and has become the largest Hamleys store among all 114 stores in the world. The opening of the Xuzhou store marks a great milestone - the world's largest Hamleys store is officially welcoming guests in China.

Founded in 1760, the first Hamleys store is located on London's Regent Street, and has a long history of 257 years as of 2017. It is the oldest toy retailer in the UK, and one of the finest toy stores in the world! The toy retailer entered the Chinese market in 2015, and its first Chinese flagship store was launched at the Sanpower International Plaza in Nanjing's Xinjiekou area (as part of the Nanjing International Finance Center), with a total floor space of approximately 7,000 square meters.

Different from the Nanjing store, Xuzhou Hamleys is styled as a traditional British toy kingdom by introducing a much wider range of children-related products, such as children apparel, family experience, and entertainment facilities that are more unique than those in Nanjing. The new Hamleys store inherited the Hamleys tradition, and was designed specifically for the Xuzhou market, resulting in a comprehensive children's entertainment center with the toy kingdom theme.
