Pop Mart at Arundel Mills: What Collectors Should Know

When does the Pop Mart at Arundel Mills open?

No specific opening date has been publicly confirmed in the reporting. Early coverage described the store as slated to open this summer, and later mentions listed it only as coming soon. Collectors planning a visit should confirm the date and hours directly with Arundel Mills before traveling, since these soft-launch timelines often shift.

The store is a permanent location, not a temporary pop-up, according to local coverage of the planned opening. For collectors who track store launches, the Arundel Mills arrival is a notable moment: Pop Mart's first full-scale location in Anne Arundel County and its third in Maryland.

Where is the Pop Mart store inside Arundel Mills?

The store is opening at Arundel Mills in Hanover, Maryland, described as a permanent location near the mall's Dining Pavilion. The mall is a major retail destination in the Baltimore-Washington corridor, and Pop Mart's arrival adds a dedicated designer-toy stop to its mix.

Before the permanent storefront, Pop Mart had a Robo Shop vending machine at Arundel Mills. That kiosk offered a limited taste of the brand; the new store is planned as a full retail experience with immersive displays and a broader product range. The mall's official news page lists current events and store updates.

What are the store hours at Pop Mart Arundel Mills?

Reported hours are Monday through Thursday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. These hours may change, especially around holidays or special releases, so confirm with the mall before making a trip.

Weekend evenings tend to be busiest, and opening events can draw long lines. If you want a quieter browse, a weekday morning is usually your best bet. Keep in mind that restocks and limited drops can happen without much notice, so following Pop Mart's official channels is wise.

What products does Pop Mart sell at Arundel Mills?

The store sells Pop Mart collectibles, including Labubu and THE MONSTERS, other character figures, plush toys, and blind boxes. Blind boxes are sealed packages containing a mystery design, so you don't know which figure you'll get until you open it. The brand is known for character-based designer toys and limited-edition releases.

Labubu, part of THE MONSTERS series, has become a global phenomenon. The Arundel Mills store gives Maryland collectors a physical location to hunt for figures, though specific series availability varies. The Banner's coverage noted the store's focus on exclusive collectibles and immersive displays.

No reliable source publishes Arundel Mills-specific prices, a complete product menu, or current inventory counts. Prices can vary by product line, size, edition, and format. For a deeper look at the brand's exhibition history, see our guide to the LABUBU 10th Anniversary NYC Exhibition.

Is this Pop Mart's first store in Maryland?

No. The Arundel Mills store is Pop Mart's third Maryland retail location, following stores at Towson Town Center and The Mall in Columbia. It is, however, the brand's first full-scale store in Anne Arundel County. A July report said another Maryland location was expected at Annapolis Mall later in 2026, but no confirmed opening date appears in available sources.

Pop Mart has been expanding quickly across the region. The Arundel Mills opening follows a pattern of growth in the Baltimore-Washington area. For collectors, more stores mean more chances to find exclusive items and attend release events. The official U.S. store list is a good place to check for updates, though it has shown a generic “Coming soon!” for some locations.

What should collectors know before visiting?

Before you go, confirm hours and stock directly with the store or mall. No verified live inventory system or restock hotline is identified in available reporting. Calling ahead or checking Pop Mart's official channels is more reliable than social-media rumors. Popular items may sell out quickly, especially during launch periods.

Opening exclusives were reportedly planned, but available reporting does not identify every exclusive item, its quantity, price, or whether it will remain available after opening day. Claims about future collaborations, special guests, or specific Labubu drops should be treated as rumored or unverified unless Pop Mart or Arundel Mills confirms them.

If you're planning to buy blind boxes, set a budget and know the odds. Blind-box collecting can be addictive, and the hunt for a chase figure can lead to overspending. For tips on spotting problematic sellers, see our guide to mystery box scams and red flags.
