TOKYO — Japanese entertainment group Bandai Namco Holdings is deepening its global push with plans to quintuple its experience-based stores in overseas markets in the next five years.
Multi-brand retail complexes, dubbed Bandai Namco Cross Stores, offer merchandise based on the group’s popular intellectual properties. They range from model kits based on the Gundam sci-fi anime series and game cards from the One Piece adventure franchise to Pac-Man merchandise, Tamagotchi digital pets and other toys. Capsule toy vending machines and an arcade area are also under the same roof.
