Fanatics Collectibles to Open Paris Flagship on October 23

Fanatics Collectibles Brings Flagship Retail to Paris

Fanatics Collectibles will open its first store in continental Europe this October, choosing Rue Saint-Lazare in Paris for a new flagship location set to open on October 23. The Paris shop follows the success of the company’s debut flagship on London’s Regent Street and extends the same retail model into one of Europe’s most active collecting markets.

The new store is designed as more than a standard retail space. Fanatics Collectibles says the Paris location will combine exclusive releases, live events and community programming in a single destination, giving collectors a place to shop, gather and engage with the hobby in person.

What Collectors Will Find Inside

The Paris flagship will stock official trading cards across a wide range of major sports and entertainment properties. According to Fanatics Collectibles, the lineup will include Paris Saint-Germain, UEFA Champions League, Formula 1, NBA, NFL and MLB, along with entertainment brands such as Disney, Marvel and Star Wars.

In addition to trading cards, the store will carry stickers and memorabilia. Fanatics Collectibles also says the location will offer singles and supplies for collectors, making it a broad hobby destination rather than a single-product retail stop.

The company says trading cards will sit at the center of the store’s identity, with the in-store experience built around product access, live events and community interaction. Live breaking sessions are also part of the planned experience.

A 5,500-Square-Foot Retail Space

The Rue Saint-Lazare location will span 5,500 square feet, matching the footprint of the London flagship. Fanatics Collectibles says the Paris store will feature one of the largest trading card selections in Europe.

That scale is intended to support both everyday shopping and event-driven traffic. The company’s approach in London has centered on creating a space where collectors can attend releases, participate in live programming and connect with others in the hobby. Paris is being positioned to follow the same formula.

London Store Sets the Template

Fanatics Collectibles opened its Regent Street flagship in April 2025, and the store has already become a major destination for collectors. The company says the London location has welcomed more than one million visitors since opening, with footfall reaching as high as 20,000 people in a single week.

According to Fanatics Collectibles, the London store has quickly established itself as one of the busiest specialty retail destinations in the city. Its mix of trading card releases, live events and in-store community programming has drawn collectors from across the globe.

The Paris opening builds directly on that response. Fanatics Collectibles says the London flagship helped confirm the demand for a physical collecting hub centered on cards, community and direct product access.

France Growth Supports the Expansion

The company says its French business has seen strong momentum in 2025, with sales up 55% in the country. That growth has helped support the decision to open in Paris and expand the flagship retail model into continental Europe.

Fanatics Collectibles views France as a key market for the hobby, and the Paris store is being introduced as part of a broader European expansion plan. The company sees the city as a natural fit because of its sports culture, collector base and international reach.
