Korean street food, swanky ‘Sac' seats, pop culture toy store headed to Tacoma Mall
While Tacoma Mall is busy expanding with its new exterior Village concept, one furniture retailer has staked a claim in the new development heavy on food concepts. Meantime, the original, main mall building is welcoming a designer toy store well known among collectors and a new food-court vendor. Connecticut-based Lovesac is planning a furniture showroom in The Village across from Shake Shack and between Supreme Dumplings and Happy Lamb Hot Pot. The company sells modular, 'Sactional' (sectional) furniture and 'Sacs' — bag seats, among other items. Its website's product page says its furniture is 'built to last a lifetime.' 'We seek to use sustainable inputs, but even consumable parts are built for replacement, recycling, or easy repair so they won't end up in a landfill,' it added. The retailer has a store in Westfield Southcenter in Tukwila and sites in Olympia, Kirkland and Lynnwood. The Village is set to open in October, according to a mall media representative, along with Lovesac. The Village also includes Dave's Hot Chicken, Simply Thai and Gong cha bubble tea. The mall's food court is gaining Seoul Bowl in May, between Charleys Cheesesteaks and Sip + Spoon, according to the mall directory map. Its store page says, 'Our wish was always to have our hometown of Seattle to have similar street food as South Korea. 'We developed the recipe in our way and transported the flavors of South Korea to Seattle. And that's what we're doing with Seoul Bowl.' Chinese toy company Pop Mart has a store planned across from Helzberg Diamonds in the original main mall building. The store's description calls the brand 'a rising global force in pop culture and entertainment. Our purpose is to celebrate daily moments and inspire through designer toys and fun experiences.' Pop Mart is known for its 'blind box' or 'mystery box' toys, sold in a sealed package that can contain a random, unknown toy or collectible figure. Its top seller is its Labubu doll. In addition to its vending machines, as of March, it had 22 U.S. stores across 11 states, including Westfield Southcenter in Tukwila and Bellevue Square in Bellevue. The mall media representative said Pop Mart is set to open in July.
