NBA store opens at the Mall of America
The National Basketball Association (NBA) has opened its newest NBA Store at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, in collaboration with long-time NBA partners Lids and Fanatics. Spanning nearly 20,000 square feet, the store features a wide selection of official NBA and WNBA merchandise, including jerseys, apparel, headwear, collectibles, and sporting goods from brands such as Nike, Mitchell & Ness, New Era, Wilson, Pro Standard, and Fanatics. A key highlight of the store is a dedicated space honoring the rich basketball culture of the Twin Cities, with exclusive Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx merchandise on display. Fans can also explore an 'Experience Zone' featuring interactive video games. Adding to the personalized shopping experience, the store offers on-site customization services, allowing fans to personalize jerseys and hats, a signature feature of many Lids retail locations. 'We look forward to bringing our NBA Store retail experience to the iconic Mall of America in Minneapolis,' said Lisa Piken Koper, head of apparel and sporting goods, NBA. 'In partnership with Lids and Fanatics, the store will offer an immersive experience for our fans in the Midwest and visitors from around the globe, allowing them to connect with the game while exploring a wide range of NBA and WNBA merchandise.' The NBA has more than 400 NBA-branded retail stores and attractions across the world. The new store marks the league's third U.S. retail location, following the successful opening in New York City in 2015, and Houston in 2023. NBA fans across the U.S. can also shop online. 'We're proud to deepen our longstanding partnership with the NBA through the opening of the new NBA store at Mall of America,' said Bob Durda, president at Lids. 'This location brings the energy of the game to the heart of the Midwest, delivering a dynamic and interactive retail experience that reflects our commitment to basketball fans and elevates sports culture through innovative merchandising, personalization and Lids' signature customization.'
