Why Fanatics Is Opening A Paris Flagship Store And What It Means For The Hobby

Fanatics Collectibles is opening another massive trading-card store in Europe. But the more interesting story is not the store itself; it is what Fanatics believes physical hobby retail can become .

On October 23, 2026, Fanatics Collectibles plans to open a 5,500-square-foot flagship on Rue Saint-Lazare in Paris. It will be the company’s first collectibles store in continental Europe and its second global flagship after London.

The Paris location will sell trading cards, stickers, memorabilia, singles and collecting supplies. It will also host live events, breaking sessions and community programming, with exclusive Paris releases planned as part of the launch.
