A new store has opened in the mall with gear for the future hockey team, Seattle Kraken. The pop-up shop at Bellevue Square will be open until December 31st. It is located on level 2 between Starbucks and MAC Cosmetics.
The shop features Kraken apparel, gift cards, holiday cards, and stocking stuffers. They also have holiday ornaments that were created to benefit the Kraken Foundation with net proceeds being donated to help fight youth homelessness.
The first official Kraken team store opening in August in South Lake Union. This is the second Seattle Kraken location to open.
The retail store is open normal Bellevue Square hours, from 10am to 9pm. In following with the new orders for the pandemic, the pop-up is limited to 25 percent capacity.
I don’t know who is managing your Bellevue pop up store but there is more employees by number in the store than actual customers as many wait in a long line out front. Sort of defeats the social distancing principle.
I encourager the Seattle Kraken leadership for store operations to come down and observe the Bellvue Square location. Sales must be great as customers are abandoning idea after 20+ minute wait to go in despite the average 3-4 people shopping in store.
I’m going to get some Seahawks like items instead like the people behind me.
