On the opening day, more than\u00a01,500\u00a0visitors waited in a long line before the store opens its doors. Store visitors took pictures in character photo zones that are set up throughout the store, while browsing a wide array of\u00a0<span class=\"xn-person\">LINE FRIEND<\/span>\u00a0merchandise from stationery to living including fashion products and accessories.<\/p>\n<p>It is significant that LINE FRIENDS has expanded its global foothold to\u00a0<span class=\"xn-location\">Hollywood<\/span>\u00a0based on growing popularity, success and expertise from its store in Times Square,\u00a0<span class=\"xn-location\">New York<\/span>\u00a0which is one of the major cities in the eastern U.S. and the top commercial districts leading global trends.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0<span class=\"xn-chron\">July 2017<\/span>, LINE FRIENDS opened a large-scale store in Times Square,\u00a0<span class=\"xn-location\">New York<\/span>, and paved ways in the U.S. market seeking to expand the company&#8217;s business in the global market. Since then, the LINE FRIENDS store in Times Square has drawn consumers&#8217; attention as a merchandise store that showcases a wide array of its products and regarded as a theme park in the city.\u00a0<span id=\"spanHghlt3a5a\">Not only\u00a0that,<\/span>\u00a0the store has become a new landmark in Times Square with its large outdoor LED advertising.<\/p>\n<p>When the &#8216;BT21&#8217; merchandise was first launched in the world last December, it recorded more than 30,000 visitors on the launching date\u00a0<span id=\"spanHghlt01a0\">only.<\/span>\u00a0As LINE FRIENDS has opened a total of 112 stores around the world, which was increased from 73 at the time of Times Square\u00a0<span id=\"spanHghltd07f\">store opening<\/span>, the company has consolidated its position as one of the world&#8217;s fast growing global character brands.<\/p>\n<p>With the opening of the pop-up in\u00a0<span class=\"xn-location\">Hollywood<\/span>, LINE FRIENDS not only aims to maintain its high popularity in\u00a0<span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span>, but it also hopes to accelerate diversifying the company&#8217;s IP business, which include production of animated films featuring LINE FRIENDS characters through strategic partnerships with leading content companies in U.S.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;We are delighted to open the pop-up store in\u00a0<span class=\"xn-location\">Hollywood<\/span>, only a year after we successfully opened one in Times Square,\u00a0<span class=\"xn-location\">New York<\/span>.
