Lego is launching its first certified store of the year in Canberra, the business said today.

The 250sqm new store will be opened in the coming months, according to the business, and will be located at Canberra Central.

“With one of the most loyal and growing communities of brick fans in the country, Canberra has been on our radar for some time as an ideal venue for a new Lego certified store,” Alquemie Group executive chairman Richard Facioni said.

“We look forward to proudly unveiling an inspiring new retail experience for Canberra which showcases the creative potential of the world-famous Lego brick.”

The store will feature a large, wall mounted mosaic of a local landmark – as the businesses other stores have featured – as well as its pick-a-brick wall and build-a-minifigure tower.

Lego also has certified stores located in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Auckland, as well as New York, London, Shanghai, Denmark and Dubai.
