Can you believe it, the very first LEGO Brand Store opened its doors today in Dublin, Ireland!

You’ll find the new store on Grafton Street, Dublin, and similar to other stores of its size its quite narrow, although it does fit a lot of features in, including brick-built models, a Pick-a-brick Wall, and a Build-A-Minifigure station. You’ll also find models unique to the store that are inspired by local culture, along with exclusive personalisation options built into the Minifigure Factory itself.

If you’re local and plan on popping in there are a couple of store opening promotions:

  • 18th to 21st August: Grab a LEGO Store Set with any purchase of €120 or more.
  • 22nd to 25th August: Grab a LEGO Delivery Truck with VIP purchases over €75 or more.

LEGO-lovers from far and wide gathered at the opening, excited to see the new features and the uniquely Irish themes displayed throughout the store. Customers were immersed in the LEGO magic with Irish dancers, a LEGO mascot, extravagant displays and branded theatre turning the top of Grafton Street into Ireland’s very own LEGO-land.

The exciting opening follows an official preview event which took place yesterday, attended by VIPs and their families.

Visitors to the new store will be treated to the new ‘Retailtainment’ concept which blends physical and digital experiences that allow shoppers to immerse themselves in the famous LEGO brick, as well as create personalised products. This includes:

  • Minifigure Factory: The LEGO Minifigure Factory allows visitors to design and create a unique LEGO Minifigure – the perfect souvenir from your visit or gift for someone else.
  • LEGO Pick a Brick Wall: The Pick a Brick Wall is a great way for fans to select the exact elements that they require for their builds.
  • Store Associates: Whether visitors are picking out a gift, looking for the latest set or bringing your LEGO fan in for a special treat, Brick Specialists can help find a set that’s the perfect fit.
  • Hands-on Play opportunities, including free build challenges and events each month.
    • Build a Minifigure Tower mix and match from a wide selection of bottoms, tops, heads, hair pieces and accessories to customize minifigures.
