Jewel Changi Airport Press Release Quotes
With stores across key cities in Japan, Pokémon will make its foray into Singapore. Pokémon Center Singapore will
be the brand’s only permanent retail store outside of Japan. The store will offer an array of Pokémon merchandise
sold in Japan as well as original merchandise exclusively created for Jewel, such as toys, stationery, Pokémon Trading Card Games and video games.
“We are pleased with the positive outcome from the Pokémon event we held at Changi Airport a few years ago. It served as an excellent promotional platform not only in Singapore, but also across the Southeast Asia region. Jewel is located at the heart of Changi Airport where we can expect visitors from Singapore and international travellers. We believe that by choosing Jewel as the venue for our first overseas store, we will see positive results across
our brand over the coming years.”
Susumu Fukunaga, Corporate Officer, The Pokémon Company
