Alpen, a major sports retailer, has announced that it will open its second flagship store in Fukuoka City on September 15, following the success of its first flagship store in Tokyo. The new establishment, occupying approximately 10,000 square meters, is set to become one of the largest sports stores in Kyushu. Situated in the heart of Fukuoka City, a popular destination for tourists including those from overseas, the company plans to use this prominent location as a beacon for their brand. The store will be located on the first to third floors of Canal City Hakata, a commercial complex. Within the store, the golf section will boast around 2,500 demo clubs for customers to try before buying. Additionally, the store will provide a special machine for customers to customize baseball gloves and soccer spikes with embroidery. Amidst the increasing popularity of outdoor gear due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the new outlet will feature a spacious area where customers can try setting up tents. Source: PR Times
