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. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/prtimes.jp\/main\/html\/rd\/p\/000000247.000042346.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PR Times<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-149394\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn_canal-city-hakata_2021_WEB.jpg?resize=1400%2C1010&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Alpen Set to Open Mega Store in Fukuoka, Amplifying Urban Presence\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1010\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn_canal-city-hakata_2021_WEB.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn_canal-city-hakata_2021_WEB.jpg?resize=300%2C216&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn_canal-city-hakata_2021_WEB.jpg?resize=1024%2C739&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/fnn_canal-city-hakata_2021_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C554&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
