A new store is coming to The Streets at Southpoint.

Pop Mart, a toy store with no existing brick-and-mortar locations in North Carolina, is expanding in the Triangle with a space at the Durham mall.

Details about the location, including an opening date, have not been shared.

Pop Mart will join toy retailers including The Lego Store at The Streets at Southpoint.

While Pop Mart, which sells collectible figures such as Labubu, has vending machines called Robo Shops in Fayetteville and Concord, it doesn’t yet have a permanent store in North Carolina. The retailer is opening a store at Raleigh’s Crabtree mall this spring.

Durham’s Pop Mart may be the retailer’s second permanent store in the state.
