Taking a break from working in the intensive care unit for amazing news:
The first Rilakkuma Store is opening in the US, and it’s coming to FLORIDA!!
This limited time pop up store has a soft opening on September 30, with a grand opening on October 14!
The soft opening happening this weekend will just be the doors opening to the public. The big festivities will take place during the grand opening two weeks later, which will feature photo opportunities, prizes, and giveaways!
For more information, check out this article from Business Wire, and follow Rilakkuma North America (on Facebook and Instagram) and Rilakkuma US (on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram).
I can’t believe the first Rilakkuma Store is opening in my home state!!
I hope this is the beginning of many US Rilakkuma Stores to come, and can’t wait to see if there will be any store opening exclusives announced—maybe Rilakkuma eating an orange, our state fruit? Or perhaps an alligator Rilakkuma, or a Florida tourist Rilakkuma?
I am planning on attending both the soft opening AND the grand opening, and I will be covering this pop-up store on my blog — will I see you there?

Hey!!!! Congratulations!!!! I know how you feel, excited hah? 😀 I still remember the time that they open the first shop in Thailand too.
Thanks!! I feel very blessed. Of all the major places in the US, I feel so lucky that they chose humble Florida :) Did you go to the opening of the first store in Thailand?
Of course, I was very excited that time but the price is kind of double from their shop in Japan so mostly I made my purchase in Japan or online haha 🤣
That’s so cool! A sign from the great bear in the sky. Bears are here.
I feel BD blessed.
I plan on going! I’ll be traveling from Orlando to get there I’m super excited! Do you happen to know what time it will open this Saturday? Right when the mall opens? Honestly I’d also like to go on the 14th too!
Not sure! I’ll be there in the afternoon :) It should open when the mall opens though, I think that’s the standard for stores that operate in malls, but I’m not sure! I will definitely be going on the 14th too, and I hope to see you there today or at the grand opening!!
