Mardi Ashkine, Centre Manager, Charlestown Square said “At Charlestown Square, we continue to focus on introducing first to market brands aligned to customer needs while delivering an experience that inspires and excites our shoppers. We are thrilled to be welcoming the first LEGO store to the Hunter in the coming months, which will create a great point of difference and in particular appeal to our young family market.”
The new AG LEGO Certified Store will be multi-sensory, interactive retail destination with eye-catching features such as the signature Pick A Brick Wall, hands-on play opportunities and larger-than-life brick models. Customers will enjoy a variety of interactive play and event experiences, including a ‘digital box’ where almost any LEGO boxed set can be scanned to come to life in 3D and hand-crafted elements, including large brick mosaics which pay tribute to local icons.
Facioni continues, “Over the last year, we have opened six new AG LEGO Certified Stores across Australia and New Zealand. “Our new NSW store will further extend the highly successful formula, as one of the world’s most loved brands meets a custom-built, innovative and engaging retail environment.”
